This usually because the glance CLI tool is trying to connect to the 
localhost (which obviously isn't running the Glance API server). Have 
you looked at the difference between your OS_XXX environment variables 
between the controller node and the remote client node? It may be that 
when you are doing a glance index --host=XXX --port=9292 on the 
controller node that the glance CLI tool is actually connecting to 
localhost/127.0.0.1, but I'm not completely sure..
