Oh I see - so it appears I found a bug, or perhaps I didn't wait long enough
for the java app. to copy over the file? When I loaded the jar file on a WIN 
client and worked through the cluster config. as far as giving DRBD MC the 
credentials to login via ssh, I could see in the console window that it was 
trying to execute /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2.

I knew I didn't have that file on my cluster hosts, so I downloaded
http://oss.linbit.com/drbd-mc/drbd-mc-0.8.2.tar.gz and copied drbd-gui-helper
from there.

Now this morning on my cluster hosts I mv'd /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper
to /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper.old which broke the symlink I had created
pointing drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 to drbd-gui-helper. I started DRBD MC on
my WIN client and now I see that automagically the file has reappeared:
# ls -l /usr/local/bin
total 88
-rwx------ 1 root root 42444 Oct 21 07:01 drbd-gui-helper
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 Oct 20 10:37 drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 -> 
drbd-gui-helper
-rwx------ 1 root root 42444 Oct 20 16:21 drbd-gui-helper.old
 
And now I have worked through the DRBD MC and I can graphically view my
cluster. DRBD MC is quite a nice piece of work. Truthfully for me, I'm much
more comfortable at the command line, configuring software with an editor. 
I will have to test-drive DRBD MC on a new cluster from scratch as time
permits. Thanks!
