Once your installation failed you have to explicitly deallocate the resources - do it always with the "-F" (force) option, otherwise you get some nasty and strange side effects.

Oh, one more: if you export the NIM directories yourself and then allocate resources (which includes exporting them via NFS) chances are the NFS export gets stuck. Do a "showmount -e" and have a look at which directories are exported.
