Patrick, if you try adding capacity again from the beginning, I'd be curious to hear if the DataStax/Riptano<http://www.datastax.com/docs/0.7/operations/clustering#adding-capacity>docs are helpful or not.
Also, in the Getting Started page<http://www.datastax.com/docs/0.7/getting_started/index>, we note that it may be best to set initial_token to 0 on the very first node that you start.
