This is ok -- this always happens the first time you ssh somewhere.

As you discuss below, the problem is because you don't have an MPI
implementation by that name.  Hence, switcher complains.

Yes, this is an unfortunate catch-22.  If you set an incorrect MPI and
then push it out, you're hosed.  I see two ways to fix this:

1. Don't push an incorrectly-set MPI out.  ;-)
2. Use "cexec" instead of "cpush" to set the right MPI.  cexec will run a
command on every node instead of pushing files out, so it won't run into
the same rsync issues:

        cexec switcher mpi = mpich-1.2.4 --system

That should set it correctly on all machines (such that sync_users isn't
necessary), and then cpush will work properly in the future.
