rabbitmqctl will pick up the cookie from the user home directory while 
the service will pick it up from C:\windows. So you will need to 
synchronise those with each other, as well as with the other machine.

This is discussed a little bit at:

http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-windows-manual.html

although that's not the most prominent place. Hmm.

Cheers, Simon
