[Clusterusers] Switching to new keg

Wed Jun 24 15:45:20 EDT 2015

working great again!
blender tag is the one to use (for us)
there's a couple of 'media' nodes: media138-14 (172.25.138.14)and
media139-173 (172.25.139.173) - are these asheclass nodes that didn't
get the right hostnames?
btw, Josiah, now that things are working I'll take a crack at the error
handling.
Cheers
Bassam
