I can't see any unusual issues in your log file, so I can only give you a few
hints:

1. Please add a line with a set command before the dcopserver is started in
startkde.bat.
   This will show you all currently set environment vars.

2. Try  ps -ea on a bash shell. You should see at least the following COMMANDS

$ ps -ea
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      288       1     288        288  con    1 12:12:19 /usr/bin/bash
     1744       1    1744       1744    ?    1 12:14:47 /opt/kde3/bin/ipc-daemon
     1924       1    1924       1924    ?    1 12:21:26 /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin
     1764       1    1764       1764  con    1 12:21:26 /opt/kde3/bin/dcopserver
I    1812       1    1812       1812  con    1 12:21:28 /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit
     1856    1812    1856       1856    ?    1 12:21:29 /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit
     1844       1    1856       1844    ?    1 12:21:33 /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit
     1836       1    1856       1836    ?    1 12:21:38 /opt/kde3/bin/kded

3. Try the appended startkde.bat. It fixes some issues.

4. If this does not help report again.
