So you're saying using the default rpmlist you cannot create an image on
SL 4.2?  Can you enable debugging for update-rpms:

# export DEBUG_UPDATE_RPMS=y

then try to build it (with the default rpmlist for RHEL4), and post the
error log?

This should not be necessary if you are using b5 as this has been fixed:

d=9368&atid=109368

If this does not work then please let us know.

If /home is mounted (via the headnode) on the compute nodes, then you
don't need a password as you can get in using SSH authorized keys, so
something must be wrong here.

Yes, just run the script /opt/oscar/testing/test_cluster on the command
prompt.
