Check the remote broker logfile for entries about disallowed nodes. If
you see this then you made an error with the .erlang.cookie file. The
troubleshooting page has more details:

It is also possible that a network or firewall connectivity issue is
preventing nodes from reaching one another. I would suggest trying to
cluster nodes on the same LAN and without firewalls first. Then
gradually add restrictions making sure everything still works as you go.
