For example, you have port 30880 on the CTCE at 500 and at 600.? They need to be different ports, on both sides of the CTCE definition.? So, I'd suggest using 30880 for address 500 and something like 30890 for address 600.? This isnt XNET's rules; rather, this is required by CTCE to function properly.
?
Also, I'd suggest simplicity.? You have a lot of extra definitions of CTCEs as well as nodes and CTC devices in your configurations that are not actually in use. When you are just trying to get something to work, just define two hosts and try to get them to work.? Then you can expand as you need to.? In a two node setup, you only need a single CTCE defined in each Hercules instance.

I rebuilt Hercules on both systems via hercules-helper, removing any prior versions of 3.x or 4.x leaving only the most recent 4.7.

I have pared down the Hercules configuration file to just one CTCA, the second one is commented out.

An interesting result from asking Hercules about device 500. One response has a single line (minus) and the other has two lines (equals) between the 'arrows'. Not sure what that means.
