Glassfish v2.1.1 Windows Services in Cluster Profile -- Node Agent won't start

Hello,
 
Could someone please point me to the appropriate documentation or tell me how to correctly set up Windows services for the Node Agents?  I have been successful in setting up the Glassfish Windows services for domain1 on my two test boxes, by using the --user and --passwordfile options, but have not been successful with the Node Agent. 
 
For clarification, I have been using the sc.exe command to create the windows services.  I can successfully create the node agent windows service, but I cannot get it to start, ending with a 1053 timeout error, which I believe is because it also needs to access the masterpassword.  Even when I try to start the Node Agents at the command line (to validate the sc.exe commands), I am prompted to enter the masterpassword. 
 
Any help or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
 
Regards,
Derek
