You're doing a great job of troubleshooting so far! What I've found on
Debian Squeeze is that memcached is picky about its listening address;
so even though "localhost' and '127.0.0.1' should resolve to the same
thing, on Squeeze I had to change the memcached entry in opensrf.xml
to 127.0.0.1:11211

Try making that change, then restarting all of the OpenSRF processes,
and see if that resolves the problem.
