Hi Michael, There is no hard coded limit to the number of nodes that can belong to a cluster. Depending on how quickly you are adding nodes to the cluster you may be running into an issue with the ring not converging on a single state.
Can you try using the "riak-admin ringready" command between each join of a node? This command will return TRUE if the nodes all agree on a particular ring state. You should run this command until it returns TRUE after each join. Also, Alexander is correct; you should deploy your nodes with an increased value for the "ring_creation_size" parameter in app.config. The typical recommendation is to have a minimum of 10 partitions per node and the value should be a power of 2 (64, 128, 256, 512, 1024). For a 63 node cluster a value of 1024 would work well.
