Well problem solved ... writing this so it is in the list archives.

It turns out the the machine name was listed twice in /etc/hosts, first as 
the loopack and second under it's eth0 address.  Someone smarter than me 
well need to explain this, but rsh and ssh picked the eth0 address, so I 
was able to connect to the remote machine, but the pvmd was using the 
loopback address.

Thank you for all your suggestions.

cheers,
Jim Parker
