Are the machines using DHCP to get their network addresses? If not, I can see where there might be a problem.
Also, if you clone the machines, you're also cloning their SSH private keys. This would cause a problem. (Unless your SSH rc scripts generate their keys on first boot and you remembered to clone the system and remove the original keys).
Also your tar command might not handle: sockets, devices, named pipes. You should check to see if devices were correctly carried over.
Finally, did you overwrite the boot sector so that it can find the new kernel? This is OS dependent.
