You should only use the -o option if the IOR was generated by omniORB. 
Without the -o, your IOR gives:

Type ID: "IDL:Test/Session_Control:1.0"
Profiles:
1. IIOP 1.2 krishna.nulink.com 53965 "....RST.'. at ................"
             TAG_ORB_TYPE 0x54414f00
             TAG_CODE_SETS char native code set: ISO-8859-1
                           char conversion code set:
                           wchar native code set: UTF-16
                           wchar conversion code set:

That looks OK to me. The server is on krishna.nulink.com, port 53965.

An omniORB client should be able to communicate with any CORBA server. 
Your server seems to be using TAO, which is known to work with omniORB.

Probably means that your server is inaccessible, or inactive. Can you 
connect to it using telnet? Try:

  % telnet krishna.nulink.com 53965

If that fails with a message like "connection failed" then your server 
isn't listening on the port listed in the IOR.

It looks like your server is taking a random port each time it starts. 
You realise that this means you need a new IOR each time?

Hope that helps.
