Running MapReduce on HBase gives Zookeeper error - hadoop

Question

I am doing a test project with Hadoop and HBase. Currently the cluster has 2 Ubuntu VMs hosted on a Windows machine.
I am able to perform PUT, QUERY and DELETE operation remotly (in my host machine) using following HBase Java API configuration
config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "192.168.56.90");
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2222");
When I am trying to run a HBase MapReduce job on Windows with the same config as above, I am getting following error
13/03/24 06:11:03 ERROR security.UserGroupInformation: PriviledgedActionException as:Joel cause:java.io.IOException: Failed to set permissions of path: \tmp\hadoop-Joel\mapred\staging\Joel290889388\.staging to 0700
java.io.IOException: Failed to set permissions of path: \tmp\hadoop-Joel\mapred\staging\Joel290889388\.staging to 0700
From what I have read on the web, there seems to be a problem with running MapReduce jobs on Windows. So I tried running the MapReduce job on Linux by using "java - jar MR.jar".
On Linux, I can't connect to Zookeeper. For unknown reason, Zookeeper host and port are getting reseted on the client side

Judging from log above, it connects correctly to node01:2222 (node01 resolves to 192.168.56.90). But for some reason, it changes to localhost:2181 and it then gives a connection refused error.
How can I fix this issue to get a MR jobs running on Linux, on the same machine as Zookeeper is running?
Version: Hbase 0.94.5 / Hadoop 1.1.2
Thanks.

You may need to set the hbase.master also.
also check the /etc/hosts file and see if it is correct. Are you able to telnet to the zookeeper using that connection info?
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "192.168.56.90");
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2222");
config.set("hbase.master", "some.host.com:60000")
