I spent a bit more time on this, and the problem (at least for me)
seems to me to be HADOOP_CONF_DIR. The bin/mahout script is appending
it to classpath, and when it points to a legitimate Hadoop conf/
directory, something in mahout notices and switches to clustered
behaviour.

Could you take a look at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-800 (and suggested
patch). Does this relate to your problems?
