While preflight accurately showed that I had set up a master and a single thorslave and reported that the cluster was up and ready, it can't have been because my job failed with the error:

eclagent	0: System error: 0: Query W20120215-132955 failed to start within specified timelimit (600) seconds

RKC took a look and found that the job had made it to HThor but not Thor.

I check the pid status and it reported that the thormaster was running but there was no indication of the thorslave process running on the other node. I'm fairly certain that it didn't start either when everything else did (I think I just didn't notice).

RKC also noticed that LocalThor was set to TRUE which is not correct for multinode. (In the past this has caused thor not to start properly).
