Thanks for that Andrew - it did fix the problem.

However the <rule> element definition in /usr/share/pacemaker/crm.dtd starting at line 542 shows both score and score_attribute as IMPLIED and not REQUIRED.

Also the "Pacemaker 1.0 Configuration Explained" document says on page 29 that score and score_attribute are "Limited to use in rules that are part of location constraints" - which this one is not.

Anyhow, glad to get it sorted - thanks for the help.

Matt.
