What user did you run these as? Looks like 'user', based on the 
transcript. But usually only the 'rabbitmq' user can write to 
/var/log/rabbitmq etc, which would cause the script invocations to fail.

Did you make any adjustments to the permissions, or set some env vars to 
adjust the paths, or tweak the scripts?

Also, did you try running these tests when no clustering has been 
configured and you have just a single node?

So is it 1.5.3 that returns both hosts (which is what you said 
originally) or 1.5.4?

And how did you configure the clustering?
