Ah!

Well, so the trick with two coaster services on localhost doesn't really
work well unless you use "ssh:", and this is a good example why. 

In your case you can avoid it easily if you change your first pool to
use the local provider instead of the coaster provider, since you don't
really need coasters to run locally.
