Here is my problem Phil, My node name is not like n00[00-91] instead we have a suffix added to our hostname like n0000.jackie0. Since we have multiple n0000 nodes we had to add the cluster they were associated to on the FQDN. And when I tried nodes='n00[00-91].jackie0' I got a message that the name of the names were not valid. So I tried only the partition and it still did not wok.
