It sounds like something is wrong with your master.passwd map.
Does it already exist or are you just getting started and haven't
created it yet?  The reason I ask is because the name of the master
for each map is encoded in the map itself.  If the program can't
find the master's name it would seem like you need to rebuild the
maps and push the new copies to all slave servers.
