Thanks heaps, This was the problem (the first answer with the JVM property).
It seems that when I was upgrading the installations and transferring the customizations we'd made to 3.2.3 startup scripts, I made a silly mistake with customizing the JAVA_OPTS variable. Instead of the usual windows property setting, "set VAR=VALUE", I suffered an attack of windows/unix dislexia and put in "VAR=VALUE". What this meant was that the rmi variable not being set, which is exactly what you thought it was. Sorry for posting this as a bug, I guess I'll be eating some bad tasting humble pie for a week or more.
