On the slave node config, the path should be to the location on that
slave. At least if it is different from the global entry.

It expects build.xml to be in the root of the (usually checked-out
from SCM) workspace. Or you can give an explict path if it is
elsewhere for some reason.

You should see which node ran a job over at the top left of the build # page.

That is controlled by the 'restrict where job can run' item in the job
config. You can use nodenames or labels there. It is a good idea to
always give the nodes labels according to their capabilities and
restrict jobs to labels since that makes it easy to add more nodes for
certain build types as the load increases or to fail over as slaves
are down/replaced.
