I will answer my own question. It turns out the zookeeper addresses in 
server.properties are
wrong.  But it is not easy to tell from the error message.

Subject: Failed to launch 0.8 stable server

Hi,

After the zookeepers were up, when I tired to launch kafka server, I got this 
error:
[2013-05-23 10:45:24,072] FATAL Fatal error during KafkaServerStable startup. 
Prepare to shutdown (kafka.server.KafkaServerStartable)
java.lang.RuntimeException: A broker is already registered on the path 
/brokers/ids/1. This probably indicates that you either have configured a 
brokerid that is already in use, or else you have shutdown this broker and 
restarted it faster than the zookeeper timeout so it appears to be 
re-registering.

Everything is freshly installed. It is so frustrating.
