My understanding is that you shouldn't specify the cluster resource client 
(i.e., the "virtual client"), you need to specify the physical node that 
the client is hosted on (if we're talking about Windows; I haven't been 
following this thread). For example, you wouldn't install NetWorker onto 
the cluster resource client; you would install it on each physical node of 
the cluster.

(in Windows, the "cluster resource client" or what I usually refer to as 
the "virtual client", is actually just an alias to whatever physical node 
is hosting the cluster resource client)

This is defined in the Administrator's Manual, I believe.
