you should first probably determine which remote process mechanism you
are using.  The 1st beta only did rexec.  I got it to start pvmd's using
the rexecd
from Ataman.  The 2nd beta can do either rsh or rexec, but I haven't been
able to 
get rsh to work with the rshd from the MS resource kit.  It seems to choose
between
the two protocols depending on the so=password setting (a password
indicates rexec).

I found the manual start option invaluable for debugging this.
Set so=ms in the host file.  (see pg 30 in user guide for more info)
