from ?makePSOCKcluster

      'homogeneous' Logical.  Are all the hosts running identical
           setups, so 'Rscript' can be launched using the same path on
           each?  Otherwise 'Rscript' has to be in the default path on
           the workers.

      'rscript' The path to 'Rscript' on the workers, used if
           'homogeneous' is true. Defaults to the full path on the
           master.

so homogeneous = FALSE and rscript = ... are incompatible. From your 
description it seems like you mean homogeneous = TRUE.
