I'd like to thank everyone for all their help.

The problem has been solved.
Kerberos was running on my Linux machine, but not on the AIX machine.
(which is backwards from what I expected when I started going down that
road.)
I've turned off kerberos on my Linux box. (Have no fear, all is
sitting behing a solid firewall.)

The key command to run was
which rsh
(which returned that rsh was running through kerberos)
