That sounds similar to what I saw, running PVM 3.3.3 under Solaris 5.3.  It 
compiles just fine, but then issues an error:

     libpvm [t40001]: pvm_addhosts(): Pvmd system error

...when trying to add a remote machine.  Here's what my /tmp/pvml.uid.machine
looks like:

    > cat /tmp/pvml.111.chlorine 
    [t80040000] ready  3.3.3   Tue Apr 11 14:39:49 1995
    [t80040000] waitc_get() cod dm_startack from t80000000 wid 262149 not found


I got around this by starting the pvmd3 daemon by hand (no arguments) first,
then firing up the console.  This worked smoothly.  I have no idea why.  I'm
curious to see if this works for you...

Good luck,
