I have been trying to make it work non-stop since Friday afternoon. I officially gave up today and I'm going to go the sstableloader route.
I wrote a little of what I tried here: http://seniorgeek.com.ar/blog/2013/09/16/tips-for-running-cassandra-shuffle/ (I have yet to update it with the fact that I had to give up) I would strongly recommend you don't use shuffle unless you have very little data to move around.
