It seems as if you have set the INTERNAL cluster port to the same as the
external one. This will become a conflict. If you check "DXVars.pm" in
local/ you will probably find this line:

$clusterport = 7300;

Replace it with the original one, something like this:

$clusterport = 27754;

. and it will probably work just fine.

I run Slackware, but I've used inittab to control my cluster, in
/etc/inittab:

DX:23:respawn:/bin/su - spider -c "/usr/bin/perl -w
/home/spider/spider/perl/cluster.pl" >/dev/tty10

. and it will nicely output all garbage on tty10 ;-)
