More details:

When I SSH into the hbase master node and use the HBase shell to ask for the
cluster status, I get this:

hbase(main):001:0> status

ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.MasterNotRunningException: null

Digging into the hbase error log, I see this when I try to start hbase on
the master:

2011-07-05 17:12:50,995 INFO

Next I'll try explicitly setting the hadoop version...
