JMeter - Distributed Testing - Remote machines are unable to start the test

Question

One master and Two slave machines. Added IP addresses to properties file's and able to connect to two slaves from Master on other applications.

For this particualr app , When i click RemoteStartAll , all i can see is the below info in logs , but nothing starts. Inside the slave machine , on the server cmd prompt , i see test started and finished at the same time :
