I do not have the answer for you. But, I would suggest going back and reading the docs on each of those tools in detail. Keep notes on which version you have and what versions of the other tools that you are using that they have been tested with. It is common for a tool to only work with versions of other tools they have been tested with. Interface specs are very fragile. But, if you create a detailed table showing the testing relationships between the tools you may find the problem. Try to find versions of each that have been tested with each other. It would also help to create a similar list of the capabilities of each tool that you need for your project. If you can not verify that a capability exists you will have to find a different tool or change your project. By verify I mean not just examining the documentation but testing to see if the capability actually exists. Another thing to do is to turn on every kind of logging that each of these tools has and examine the logs after a test. Error messages, even normal logged messages, can tell you a lot about what is going on in a tool. For testing systems that talk over an TCP/IP connection I have found that using a "wedge" or "man in the middle" tool can be helpful. The wedge is acts as a relay between the two agents and logs all traffic between the two. A fairly easy way to do that is to use a router as the wedge.
