Just to say I should have read the online archive more carefully before posting ...
My problem is the same one that was dealt with in a previous thread: I didn't have JAVA_HOME set correctly. Xindice is now working.
However, it's worth noting that I _did_ set this environment variable correctly when starting the server. My problem was that I also needed to set it in the separate command prompt from which I was making the client calls. Maybe that's because I set it from within a batch file when starting the server; maybe it's an XP thing ... (Looks like the latter: starting a third command prompt and typing 'SET', I don't see the JAVA_HOME env variable, even though I had set it explicitly in the second command prompt window.)

I've just downloaded and installed Xindice, I _think_ correctly. I followed all the instructions about environment variables.
I can certainly start up the server (from the command prompt), and get a sensible sequence of messages which suggest that services 'db', 'HTTPServer' and 'APIService' are all started.
However, when I try to run the xindice or xindiceadmin command (from a separate command prompt), I just get back the help text for the command in question (i.e. there is a slightly longer list of commands for xindiceadmin than for xindice).
Am I just being dumb? Should I be doing this some other way?
I'm running Windows XP Professional, with JDK 1.3.1 (after an initial attempt with 1.4.1 - I thought the JDK version might be the problem).
