Problem deploying bpel process to oc4j_soa container on separate server

Question

Hi - after searching for a solution both here and on Metalink for some time, I've reached the point where I think I need to post my problem:
(This might be an application server/BPEL related issue and perhaps more relevant there than JDeveloper. If so, my apologies in advance.)
On client; Windows XP with JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.0, on server Windows Server 2003 with Oracle SOAsuite 10.1.3.
Created a very simple bpel process (ftp get a remote file -> write locally) that I want to deploy on the dedicated SOA-server.
From JDeveloper, the "Application Server and ESB Server connections checks out fine. But the "BPEL Process Manager Server" check failes with the error:
"BPEL Identity Service: Failed" - Details: "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException:Whitespace required."
I have not found any postings/info on the "Whitespace required" error anywhere... mighty strange....
I'm therefore unable to use the BPEL Process Deployer, it states that "Server Mode: Server is unreachable".
I've triple-checked all ports etc. The Integration Server Connection is using port 80.
I'm able to access and open the BPELConsole (& EM & ESB) on the server from my JDeveloper workstation.
A "opmnctl status -l" on the SOA-server gives:
Processes in Instance: SOAProd.aresrv136.gard.local

I cannot find the "deploy_service" as a separate service on my server however. Only the hw_services are up and running, but it contains a "deploy" web module.
Would be immensely grateful for any information that might help me further in solving this issue, as I'm rather stuck right now....

Haakon,
I think the BPEL forum is the better source to ask
