Another thing to try, still keeping interface unset as you have it now: chdef node1 installnic=mac primarynic=mac
That is the explicit text string 'mac'. I'm not sure what xCAT tries to do when you have those attrs set to actual mac values. Also, after running nodeset, first tail /var/log/messages I noticed that for me, I was not getting all nodeset error msgs displayed to the screen for some reason, but they were getting posted to syslog.
