Cannot start managed via NodeManager in vanilla BEA 9.2 MP3 install

Question

We've installed BEA WebLogic 9.2 MP3, created a single domain with a AdminServer and a Single Managed Server that runs on a Machine. We also installed the NodeManager as a Windows Service (windows 2000 server). The AdminServer runs without issue and can is easily accessed.
When we try to start the Managed Server from the BEA Admin Console, it immediately fails. When we look at the Server logs we see:
