I did set autobootstrap true. It got the new token, and even proceeded to print the message that its bootstrapping, however the source node just didnt show any activity. At a later point, when i tried again (after the other bootstrap from the other source was finished), it did proceed, however that failed with a different exception during streaming. Anyway, getting rid of that node now, as it has less memory (4 gigs) and giving streaming exceptions, so just scping data out right now.
