Windows Service problems, just exits with no errors

Running a Windows Server 2003 VMware image, the CruiseControl 2.8.4 Windows 
service starts up just fine on one instance but exits *without error* on 
another. Exact same wrapper.conf, config.xml, tool versions, etc. (since both 
systems came from same the VM image).

With DEBUG logging enabled, here are some excerpts that seem relevant. 
(Attachment of full message log made message too large. Will provide if useful.)

If I leave my wrapper.conf and dashboard.xml files in place but revert to the 
default install config.xml, it runs fine.

But if I switch to my custom config.xml, which simply sets a few properties 
and imports my real config.xml from my projects' home directory, the service 
exits. But the exact same config.xml files run fine from the command-line 
batch file.

I've tried reinstalling CC and the service multiple times, and this behavior 
is consistent each time.

Again, this exact configuration works fine on another instance of the VM 
image. Only difference should be the IP address of the instances (and their 
network environments).
