Hey Gary, >From the information I've got here, this looks like more of an HBase problem than a Flume problem. My recommendation would be to first double check that you can run commands against the HBase instance from your Flume agent node. Try running `hbase shell` and execute a list command. If you get complaints, that's probably where your problem is originating from.
Otherwise, it may be that there is an issue with your HBase configuration on your Flume agent node. You might not be pointing at the correct ZooKeeper quorum, or something along those lines.
