I'm doing essentially the same thing with a 3100 and a 5800 with
3.1c and haven't noticed any problems of this sort.

Yep, seems to work. Make sure the config file has all the appropriate
entries for a "UWS"* system and device entries. Releases prior to 3.1[a-d]
didn't use explict config file entries for DS3100 devices. I think there
are some suitable sample config files in the 3.1c /sys/conf directory to
work from.

I dunno, did you install 3.1c from tape on both systems or did you upgrade
the 3100's from a different release? Are the 3100's as workstations with
UWS 2.2 libraries loaded on the server? Did you install the mandatory
patch tape? so on...
