dashboard shows all projects as discontinued

I've set up CC 2.8.4 (config details below) and started it. It runs as expected, and the classic view

  http://myhost:8080/cruisecontrol

shows my projects and the [Build] buttons work. Clicking on projects
shows their log pages, etc.

However, the dashboard view 

  http://myhost:8080/dashboard

is not working as expected. All projects are showing as 'discontinued'

I found 

  http://osdir.com/ml/java.cruise-control.user/2009-01/msg00022.html

which describes this same problem and suggests checking the JMX port.
My JMX port is working (started CC with -jmxport 8092 and http://myhost:8092 is working
and I can view the config of the last-build project that claims it was discontinued

My cruisecontrol.log file shows no problems.

About shows:

CruiseControl Dashboard Version:        2.8.4(4553)
JVM version:    19.0-b09
OS Information: Linux 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
Shared log folder location:     /data/acl/var/local/cc/logs
Shared artifacts folder location:       /data/acl/var/local/cc/artifacts
Option to allow force build?    Yes

So how to I get the dashboard to work?

thanks,
djb
