	I think I see the error.  In "dante/DanteServer.java", there's
the following code:

    public void start () throws Exception {
        node = this.getNode();
        neighbors = node.getNeighborTable();

        node.register(new DanteProtocol());
        node.threadStart(this);
    }

	That's the wrong form of Node.register() to use;  DanteServer
needs to use the two-argument call, where the second call is the Principal.
The DabteServer object is being manipulated by AppBooster.run(), which has
already passed the Principal to DanteServer.  So this ought to work:

        node.register(new DanteProtocol(), getPrincipal());

and it fixes the problem.
