I did the same thing just yesterday and received a similar error.  For me,
at least, it went away after giving the server a few extra minutes to warm
up so I didn't think anything of it.

Also, I had another issue where I installed the plugin on a server that was
actively being used.  When I restarted the rabbitmq server, none of my
queues had any count information.  I had to shut down the server, delete the
mnesia folder, and restart it before I started to get counts.

There's clearly some variability in behavior based on the contents of the
mnesia folder.  I don't know if that is contributing to your issue, but it's
worth investigating.
