Strange. Try running with -ORBtraceInvocations as well as
-ORBtraceLevel 30. That will print out if omniORB thinks it is
dispatching the operation.

One thought is that perhaps the client and server are using different
IDL?  If omniORB is expecting more arguments to the call, it could be
sitting waiting for more data to arrive.
