Hot Water Tank Issues - H E L P !

I have rarely used my hot water tank; just fired 'er up a few times to see if she works.
So, I'm preparing for AK. Here's what's going on:
When the cold water is on at the sink, the pump makes its NORMAL annoying noise.
When the hot water is turned on (cold off), the pump makes this horrible rhythmical pounding noise
(can listen here: http://georgeandmichelle.com/alaska.html
IF I turn on the cold water while the hot is on (and pounding), the pounding stops and it becomes a regular pump noise.
I have purged air out of hot water tank twice. I have opened all the faucets, though not at the same time.
If I can't get it fixed, I'll have to drag it back to the shop, which I just visited a few days ago to have a new kitchen faucet installed.
Any thoughts?
