Your replication factor is only set to 1, which means that each key will only live on a single node. If you do wait for bootstrapping to commence (takes 90s in trunk, I don't recall in 0.6), you should see some keys moving unless your inserts were all into a small range. Perhaps your being impatient.
If not, I recommend that you start over, set the replication factor to 3, wait a good while for all the nodes to fully join the cluster, and then make sure the keys you write to are random. Gary.
