replacing ${RABBITMQ_NODENAME} with rabbit at localhost and using
rabbitmqctl -n worked!

Previously it was using rabbit at gandalf, where gandalf was the computer
name.  Pinging gandalf.local still gives me 127.0.0.1, so I'm not sure
why this makes a difference, but apparently it does.

I can at least go from here.

If you want me to further debug this to figure out the root cause, I'm
happy to try anything else for you.

Thanks again!
