I have just had a similar problem with a Pascal orb. In my case it helped to
run the omniORB client with "-ORBlcdMode 1" to force GIOP down to "lowest
common denominator".

If this still does not help you might try running omniNames instead of what
you are currently running (WebSphere name server ?) - if possible.

Hope this helps
