Braun,
Here's your problem:

Either port 8100 isn't open, or your are being firewalled out, or
similar.
I don't have all the relevant docs handy, so I might get some of this
wrong. According to the Developers Guide pg 32 your command line
should be:
soffice -headless -server "-accept=socket,port=8100;urp;" -display:1
^
Note the different position of the opening double quotes. I'll admit
that it looks wierd, but that what the docs say.
Use "netstat -atn" to verify that port 8100 is open. I tried both
commands on my machine and found that with the amended command, port
8100 did open. With your original command, it didn't.
Also make sure that something else isn't already using port 8100 -
netstat -atn with soffice not running will tell you.
Good luck
