[Beowulf] probs with mpdboot for 4 nodes

hi,

   i established a four node cluster. i mounted a
directory /home/vinodh/cluster to all the 3 slave
nodes. i created a pubic key (rsa) in
/home/vinodh/.ssh and i copied the id_rsa.pub to all
the 3 slave nodes as authorized_keys2.

   when i tried to invoke the command mpdboot -n 4 ,
it says host key verification failed , but it is
starting the mpd in 3 nodes depending on the names in
mpd.hosts. it fails for the last one.

the name of the nodes are 
beomaster
beoslave
beoslave1
beoslave2

here is the output of mpdboot -n 4 --debug

mpdboot_rank_0 (mpdboot 222): starting

beomaster:50442 -zrank 3 -zhosts 		

beomaster:1,beoslave1:1,beoslave:1,beoslave2:1
</dev/null ' :
	Host key verification failed.


but it is working, if i start the mpd in each node
with the command
      mpd -h beomaster -p <no> &

then, i tried by umounting /home/vinodh/cluster and i
mounted /home/vinodh itself. and in .ssh i copied the
id_rsa.pub as authorized_keys2. now the command 
      mpdboot -n -4 
it is working on all the four nodes.

the output of mpdboot -n 4 --debug is
