I'd suggest starting with a setld -i on each machine then doing a diff to
see what's different about the 3.0 modules loaded.  If that doesn't make it
obvoius, try the install again as "sh -x setld ..." using tee or script to
save the output, then try to see exactly what it's objecting too.

Unless it's something obvious, you'll probably end up reinstalling 3.0 or
perhaps you could simply duplicate the working 3.1 system...
