This is one of the first sub-standard books I have read from OReilly. Even OReilly have acknowldged this. Check out http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/clusterlinux/.
The scripts in the book need a lot of tweaking to get them working. The book is a good starting point but is far from its promised goal of getting you to 'Build Linux Clusters'.
I found the online resources on Mosix/PVM much more helpful. Some people on this list (Amitay/Jaju) have trodden this path successfully. Watch out for pointers from them.
