The problem turned out to be that we had xCAT configured our nodes as mgt=ipmi not mgt=opembmc
Once that was fixed, and with: https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/configure/password.html?highlight=openbmc It all now works.

"rflash -l <node>" Can you also run "rvitals" while "xcatdebug" is on ?
