I've been away from the code a while and so can't remember exactly but one thing you'd have to do to get that to work is to compile in your services-config.xml into your client app.
The offline data store contains the names of the data services id properties, associations etc. when the application does not have it compiled into directly. Without that info, LCDS does not know what destinations are there, the id properties etc. and so cannot even initialize without any data. When you use the new hibernate assembler, it's default behavior is to generate the id properties and associations (the stuff that you'd normally put into services config.xml manually) from hibernate's configuration which means it just is not available to the compiler. it's always downloaded at connect time and LCDS is not really working until that happens. As I recall, there is supposed to be some event or error or something that is thrown when this happens so that you could catch that and at least report that they need to connect. Turning on the debug log on the client would be the quickest way to see what is happening. There is probably a way you could hack the ServicesConfig.xml static property to avoid this altogether - i.e. just set it to some hard-coded string that you squirrel away from a system which did initialize itself properly. Just make sure to set it before you try to initialize the data service and it will act like it was compiled in.
