You might check for problems with your network drivers (or just for
updates), especially if the head node has a different card than the
others.  I think the problem with the shipped 3c2000t driver I used to
use was related to UDP transfers.

The pfilter thing is easy to check, just remove the package with the
oscar wizard and check your program again.  Then if it still doesn't
work you can put it back again if you want.

Also, you might just try running "Complete Cluster Setup" again (which
resets a bunch of configuration files), or rebooting the cluster
(headnode first, then nodes).  Every once and a while I have gotten
things into odd states and those two things are quick and easy things
to try.

As far as running other UDP programs, I believe LAM/MPI uses UDP for
some of its inter-daemon communications so you might try running some
benchmarks or somesuch using LAM and see if they work.  I am not super
sure about this though.
