It also turns out that I've been told we do not need MPI, which is good because we don't have MPI compilers installed on our builders, so "using mpi ;" did nothing (understandably). 

That was probably the problem all along FWIW.

Thanks,

Nick

It turns out, the problem is that you need to configure the mpi module. Put

using mpi ;

into either user-config.jam or project-config.jam (the former is
better, because the bootstrap script rewrites project-config.jam).

Boost.MPI was supposed to tell you that you need to do this, but
something made this part to do nothing:

        message boost_mpi
            : "warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface
(MPI) library."
            : "note: to enable MPI support, add \"using mpi ;\" to
user-config.jam."
            : "note: to suppress this message, pass \"--without-mpi\" to b2."
            : "note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message."
            ;
