Join / Subquery on 2 Tables - ERROR: Can not prepare request: null

We have a query that takes about 8 hours using Postgres 9.2, and are testing Stado to speed it up.

I built Stado using the ~sgdg/stado/stado branch, and created a cluster of 48 nodes, all on the same physical server. The server has 64 cores and 384 GB of RAM.

I created the following tables and imported data (331,106 and 1,124,421 rows):

CREATE TABLE trails1 (
 id text,
 a_lat double precision,
 a_long double precision,
 b_lat double precision,
 b_long double precision,
 trail_id character varying(20),
 type character varying(4),
 distance numeric(10,5)
) PARTITIONING KEY distance ON ALL;

CREATE TABLE trails2 (
 a_lat double precision,
 a_long double precision,
 b_lat double precision,
 b_long double precision,
 type character varying(5),
 distance numeric(16,8)
) PARTITIONING KEY distance ON ALL;

I can do simple queries and get the expected results:
SELECT count(*) as count FROM trails1 WHERE a_lat > 42 AND a_lat < 43 AND a_long > -100 AND a_long < -90;
 count
-------
  1457
(1 row)

But when I do this query I get "ERROR: Can not prepare request: null".

SELECT
 count(*) as count
FROM
 trails1
WHERE
 not exists (
  SELECT
   'x'
  FROM
   trails2
  WHERE
   trails2.a_lat >= trails1.a_lat - 0.000833 AND
   trails2.a_lat <= trails1.a_lat + 0.000833 AND
   trails2.a_long >= trails1.a_long - 0.000833 AND
   trails2.a_long <= trails1.a_long + 0.000833 AND
   trails2.b_lat >= trails1.b_lat - 0.000833 AND
   trails2.b_lat <= trails1.b_lat + 0.000833 AND
   trails2.b_long >= trails1.b_long - 0.000833 AND
   trails2.b_long <= trails1.b_long + 0.000833 AND
   (
    trails2.type = trails1.type OR
    trails2.type = 'S'
   ) AND
   trails2.distance >= trails1.distance - 1.0 AND
   trails2.distance <= trails1.distance + 1.0
  );

This is the error:
