Noted, and will pursue. Will see how they spin up in LXC as-well for comparison. Appreciate the input Herbert and have a great weekend.

That's a little Apples and Oranges, did you try to run
them on a Linux-VServer patched kernel without a guest?
Does it work there?
If so, how about a chroot into one of the guests?
There are probably a dozen differences between the so
called 'non vserver' and the Linux-VServer guest you
are testing with, so more testing is required in any
case, but as I said, with proprietary software, it is
probably a good idea to ask the support team, after
all they are the only ones with access to the source.
Best,
Herbert
