Unfortunately I think it's a problem with the bindings. It's really a little 
sub-project to get DCOP working well with the bindings - someone did make a 
start a couple of years ago but they didn't finish it off. I'm afraid haven't 
had much time to work on the java bindings for the KDE 3.4 release, other 
than just regenerate them, but this is one of the most important things to 
get working.
