You firs need to have each other node set up so it sees "exported" jobs and variables from its peers - you should be able to change job parameters remotely etc.

You may have to run gbch-hostedit to set up other nodes' IP addresses and stop/restart the scheduler.

When done, try setting the next stage up from "exporting" a job so it's "remote runnable" (you may want to set the loadlevel to zero on the "owning" machine) and the job should be able to run on the other nodes.
