I thought i updated my environment, but apparently the GT2-libs still preceded the GT4-libs in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH sequence...which causes this error. Yes, very stupid indeed. Anyway, it works fine now, and i look forward to trying out some fancy new NG4 features. 

It's good news.

In addition, I have one comment.
Did you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable directory yourself?

On Golbus Toolkit, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other environment
variable setup is done by

 1. setup $GLOBUS_LOCATION environment variable to appropriate GT4 or
    GT2 directory.
 2. loading file ${GLOBUS_LOCATION}/etc/globus-user-env.{sh|csh}.

Did you load that file?
In the common case, this setup is done on shell start-up file
like .cshrc, .bashrc, ... .

setup file is loaded by below command.

by sh or bash
$ . ${GLOBUS_LOCATION}/etc/globus-user-env.sh

by csh or tcsh
% source ${GLOBUS_LOCATION}/etc/globus-user-env.csh

There are note on Ninf-G Tutorial around this.
