The 3.2 service uses a DLL entry point that is only available in XP and
higher.   I made a bugzilla entry for this, but I don't know if they're going
to change this or not.  If not, I'll probably move my scanning to a Linux
virtual machine.  2000 is a better OS for scanning than XP because it doesn't
have a limit on the number of half-open TCP/IP connections.
