[I am cc:ing back to oscar-users so other users can gain knowledge from this issue]
For 1), it is not necessary to make the directory /var/lib/systemimager, it should be created for you automatically. I suggest you start over with a clean installation, it might help troubleshoot better. To do this, go to /opt/oscar/scripts execute the start_over script: % ./start_over Exit the current shell and re-run ./install_cluster from /opt/oscar Hopefully this time it will work out. Let me know how it goes. P.S. Why do you need to run step 4 six times? Was it because of the 'partitioning' file issue from before?
