MySQL Cluster - 4 node - Windows - 1st Install

[Barry Banhagel]

I'm installing MySQL cluster on Windows 2008 R2. 4 node configuration using the setup GUI. Everything working as expected 2 mgmt nodes are up/running 2 data nodes are showing up/running but the SQL/API nodes are not starting.
All relevant folders have full permissions to "network service'
the my.cnf and my.ini were created by the cluster installer and appear to be in use by the service as the error logs are writing to the location defined by the my.cnf
here is the service startup command:

"E:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Cluster 7.3\bin\mysqld.exe" --defaults-file=E:/MySQL/Cluster01/DATA/57/my.cnf N57

here is the contents of the my.cnf file created by the installer:
#
# Configuration file for MySQLCluster01
# Generated by mcc
#
[mysqld]
log-error=mysqld.57.err
datadir="E:/MySQL/Cluster01/DATA/57/"
tmpdir="E:/MySQL/Cluster01/DATA/57/tmp"
basedir="E:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Cluster 7.3/"
port=3306
ndbcluster=on
ndb-nodeid=57
ndb-connectstring=172.28.77.198:1186,172.28.77.199:1186,

here are the contents of the error log for mysqld:
