Huh?  BOINC only has one S@h client.  What do you mean "with either the

GUI

or CLI client"?

That is correct, but there are two version of the BOINC client: The
boinc_gui.exe features a nice(?) tray icon and has a window which
displays the projects you joined, the sate of the current WU etc. while
the boinc_cli.exe is just a normal command line tool. Perhaps the GUI is
a special thing only available in windows BOINC? I haven't tried BOINC
on another system atm, so I only know the Win client.

Where did you obtain a BOINC CLI version?  According to the BOINC website,
the only released Win32/x86 version is the GUI.  (Which isn't very "graphic"
anyway...)  Did you compile the CLI yourself and install it as a service
with all the necessary Read/Write/Execute/Delete permissions?

"BOINC can be run as a Windows service. This requires the command-line
interface (CLI) version of the core client, which is not available for
download; you'll have to build it from the source code using Visual Studio
.Net. " (from the BOINC pages at http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/service.php)

More ideas?

Is it possible that the compile of the CLI version was defective somehow?
