As I said above, please check the PostgreSQL logs on both nodes. That
should generally be more informative. Also please show the output of
select * from bdr.bdr_nodes from both nodes.
The database for the 2nd node you were joining should've been
completely blank before you tried to join it. Was it? Try CREATE
DATABASE ... TEMPLATE template0; to make sure.

At this time UDR and BDR don't mix especially well. It's something
we're working to address, but is lower priority than getting more of
the underlying functionality into PostgreSQL 9.6 and streamlining the
user experience.
