Could Only Replicate To 0 Nodes Instead Of 1

[Jon Lederman <jo...@me.com>]

Hi,

Upon trying a simple copyFromLocal I am receiving an error message "could only be replicated to 0 nodes instead of 1" as indicated below.
All of my configuration appears ok and all daemons are running.

Can anyone suggest any thoughts on troubleshooting?  The error is listed below.
