Not sure I quite see what you mean, but:

  22.    rpc:call(element(1, server ()), code, load_library, [Mod, Filename, Bin])
  24.    rpc:call(element(1, W), code, load_library, [Mod, Filename, Bin])

Did you mean code:load_binary/3 there perhaps? I can't see load_library/3
on R14B04. You can pattern-match on return values to expose this kind of
unexpected failures:

  {module, _} = rpc:call(Node, code, load_library, [Mod, Filename, Bin])
