Well, if you've been following along, I found the problem on the Win2k box, though I'm not sure why this 'fix' is needed.
The service has to run as an administrator so that it can read a config file. Running as system/local it was unable to open the file.. My fault - that directory contains sensitive data, and all perms (except mine) been revoked. Regranting perms to SYSTEM fixed that problem. As for running a service on XP, still don't know why that doesn't work.
