==================================================

Gentlemen,
      I tracked down the problem to a missing configuration file in  
the database.  Thanks to Steve Muir who pointed me to the  
documentation at:

https://wiki.planet-lab.org/twiki/bin/view/Planetlab/ 
SliceCreationService

The steps to fix it are:

1) On the PLC, edit the file /planetlab/plc_www/PlanetLabConf/ 
RootResources/plc_slice_pool.py
   Change the server to your private planetlab server.

2) On the PLC web interface, log in and add a configuration file  
(Nodes -> Configuration files) with the following details:

Enabled: TRUE
Source: PlanetLabConf/RootResources/plc_slice_pool.py
Destination: /home/pl_nm/RootResources/plc_slice_pool
Permissions: 644
Owner: pl_nm
Group: pl_nm
File Scope: Global

You may want to add the following:

Post-install command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pl_nm restart

This will fix any new nodes that you install.  To fix an old node,  
you should reboot, and it should correctly restart itself.  If that  
does not work, just re-install it.
