ok, final message on this thread from me anyhow. It looks like the sasl=>1 in the create fixes the sasl issue. The Kerberos issue as more problematic because I did not want to go back set up Kerberos on all the boxes. A total effort because we do not use kerberos at all, so a total from the ground up effort. From what I gathered, the easiest way to do that was to start all over from the ground up with hadoop, and I have no time for that now.

So, I moved on to getting it to work via Impala and ODBC. Hopefully, that will go smoother.
