Hmm, this is odd. None of us here have played with the various language
bindings which act as Erlang nodes, so I'm afraid we're struggling to
help you here. I can confirm that rabbit_amqqueue:info_all(<<"/">>) does
indeed work.

That #Bin<1> is the virtual host. I wonder if the binary you're
constructing in new OtpErlangBinary("/") is somehow different. Maybe try
unpacking the result of the stat_all and check that the values match.
Similarly, that #Bin<11> should be the queue name <<"SimpleQueue">>. If
neither call worked then I'd wonder about host and node names, but the
fact that you have one of them working suggests all of that is set up.

Sorry I can't think of anything else. You may be better off using
rabbitmqctl with the -q (quiet) flag and parsing the output. Also,
use something like wireshark, and compare what your python, erlang
client and java are sending when doing these rpc calls.
