Aha!  This could be the culprit!
You really need to set $WikiDir as early as possible, because it tells
everything where to look for the pages.

One of the things Cluster does in its setup is to check whether certain
pages exist.  But if you set $WikiDir *after* you call Cluster, then
Cluster will use the default value for $WikiDir and not the correct one.
So of course none of the GroupAttributes pages are found, because
Cluster is looking in the wrong place!
