Are you aware of our database of on line support at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghldm.html. For example, when there, if you query on the string "register service", a question and answer very similar to yours can be found at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/mfs/65/3034?52#mfs. It's particularly useful for phrases that appear in the log such as those you included above. Please let me know what you find out.
