I just noticed you are trying to install a redhat 6 node from a redhat 5 MN. There may be issues here. Our suggestion is always to have the MN and nodes at the same Major release level . So what I mean is your MN could be rhel6.2 and the nodes rhel6.1, but not a mix of 5 and 6 and certainly not the older level on the MN.
You can try a simple test to see is rsync is going to work between these two levels. Create in /tmp/test touch file1 vi synclist /tmp/test -> /tmp/test Now run xdsh node9 -F /tmp/synclist Lissa K.
