Can't start message brokers

Hi,

I'm trying to setup an evaluation copy of MQ and I just can't start the message broker. I've tried both a typical install and a specific broker install. I can get the directory node to start fine, and can connect using the management tools fine, but when trying to start the message container (startmsgcontainer.sh on typical install and startcontainer.sh on broker install), I get some weird errors:

My container.xml is as follows:

I can successfully connect to hamdev560.aws.dev.ham.uk.betfair:2506 using the management tools, and did so successfully during the install. I also suspect that since this occurs on the custom install there's something else going on.

Thanks
