Sorry for the noise. I turned up the trace level and figured out what  
was going on.

In the beginning I was setting InitRef in my orb.conf to be the above  
corbaloc:.. url.

However, now I've made it a parameter and I'm looking up the remote  
name service so the url needs to be corbaloc:iiop:1.2 at hostname:3528/ 
NameService

The exception I was seeing was due to me using the wrong name.
