Error deploying from Jdeveloper 10.1.3.4 to OAS 10.1.2

Question

I've upgraded my Jdeveloper to 10.1.3.4 and imported an old project written in Jdev 10.1.2.0 (build 1811).
My application uses Struts, JSP, Log4j and EJB's
I can deploy to my local o4cj in the new Jdev and the applciation runs fine but when I try to deploy to my 10.1.2 app server I get the following error within the DCM log file:
TM] Remote evaluate failed.

It looks like it's not picking up the datasource yet it works fine via the local oc4j. From my understanding the datasource is picked up from the connections in Jdeveloper but i've tried adding a datasource.xml to my "Model" tier within the "META-INF" folder but the error is still being generated.
I've amended the J2SE version to 1.4.2_02 on both the ViewController and Model project properties as recommended within the Jdev 10.1.3.4 documentation. I've also just read the following but i'm not sure how relevant it is as the error seems to be that it can't find a datasource not that the password is not being read.
"Data-Sources Password Handling and Application Server 10.1.2
It is important to note that deploying an application that uses connections defined in data-sources.xml developed using JDeveloper 10.1.3 that is deployed to Application Server 10.1.2 will result in a deployment failure. One example would be an application that uses an EJB to connect to a database. This is due to differences in the way Application Server 10.1.3 and Application Server 10.1.2 interpret password indirection. We are expecting a patch for Application Server 10.1.2 to be made available that will allow deployment of these types of applications to Application Server 10.1.2."
I imported the project datasource files from my old project that were developed in Jdev 10.2.3 rather then creating the connection via Jdev 10.1.3.4 but this still hasn't cleared the error.
I've spent a few days on this so far so any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

"Not really. You can exclude the data-sources.xml from the EAR file and rely on the setup of the Global Datasource, created before deployment.
--olaf"
Thanks. Yes I did try this but when I setup the datasource via the datasources tab within the console I still received the error. This may have been due to an error on my part but I can't be sure as i've tried all sorts of different approaches over the last few days. I initially didn't have a datasource.xml so there wasn't one to exclude (via the deploy properties in Jdev) I had relied on Jdeveloper to setup the datasource via my connections. I read somewhere that Jdev does this fduring deploy and indeed it works fine for my embedded oc4j and when deplolying from Jdeveloper 10.1.2 so it would seem odd that the same approach doesn't work for Jdeveloper 10.1.3.
Surely the release notes regarding the password issue is the reason why I can't deploy from Jdev 10.1.3.4 to app server 10.1.2?
The release notes say that a patch is due to fix the issue with password indirection, Olaf do you know where I can get this?
Also how do I setup Jdev not to write the datasources during deployment? If I don't have a datasources.xml then there is nothiing to exclude. Is there a setting somewhere in Jdev 10.1.3.4?
