I installed OO 2.4.2 and tried it. Initially it had the same behavior as OO
2.3.1 but then I had the thought to run the soffice process with sudo
(because I needed to install the package with sudo) and it works! There must
be some permissions issue causing me grief.

The system running our app is running as root so this will not be a problem.

So to summarize:
- Installed OO v2.4.2 with sudo (i.e. sudo ./setup)
- Invoked soffice first time interactively to do initial setup wizard and
licensing acknowledgement
- Did subsequent invocations of soffice with sudo (i.e. sudo /<path to
OO>/program/soffice <macro>

Thanks for your quick response
