After some trial and error, the only way I could find to have a
reinstall proceed automatically was to delete all of the existing
partitions on the node's install disk before firing off a reinstall.

Unfortunately, despite having created a custom
'replace-custom-partition.xml' file and rebuilding the distribution, the
install used Rocks's default partitioning scheme.

Though not ideal, it seems I am now able to move through node reinstalls
via ssh, which will allow me to get some work done.

Thanks for your help.
