This sounds like a configuration issue, and usually it's because 
slurmdbd cannot connect back to the control daemon on the IP address and 
port it has registered with it.

If you do "sacctmgr list clusters" and then from the system running 
slurmdbd try and connect with nc or telnet to the listed ControlHost on 
the listed ControlPort you may find it doesn't work.

Sometimes this is firewall related and sometimes this is because 
slurmctld tells slurmdbd about an IP address that isn't reachable rather 
than one that is.

Hope this helps!

All the best,
Chris
