This sounds very much like the problem we had with 20+ 2702I-E-K9 APs. It's a bug in the firmware - no idea how it got through testing...
We had to serially config them all by hand - very painful. Process was... - Get MAC address of AP into your DHCP server - Boot AP - Using serial cable - enable -> Cisco - Type: *capwap ap controller ip address w.x.y.z* (in a few seconds the AP will start firmware upgrade - AP flashing blue) - When you get the usual "Not in Bound state" error, login to the CLI Uesrname: Cisco, Password: Cisco - enable -> Cisco - Type: *clear lwapp private-config* (AP will now start chatting to wism w.x.y.z) Apologies if this is not the same issue but if it is it will save you an awful lot of time trying to figure it out. We also saw the issue Jezz mentioned with two MAC addresses. That was easier to overcome!
