I can confirm. Following docs here: http://docs.openstack.org/juno/install-guide/install/yum/content/ch_nova.html#nova-controller-install I removed the distro nova.conf and created a new and added this content, replacing it with the settings pertenant to my environment an it is now working. There is definitely something wrong with the distro shipped config. I'll poke around an see if anything sticks out.
