The two ends disagree about the repository ids for the interfaces. Every
interface has a repository id that is used during narrowing. e.g. for
this IDL:

module Example {
  interface Test {};
};

The repository id of the Test interface is "IDL:Example/Test:1.0".
Somehow you don't have matching repository ids.

One way to see the repository ids is to get the text form of the IORs
with orb->object_to_string() and then give it to the catior tool.

Cheers,

Duncan.
