Here's the procedure I use to install Openoffice

tar -xzf .../OOo_3.1.X....
cd OOO[...]
mv *integration*.rpm desktop-integration
rpm -i *.rpm

The rpm ooobasis3.1-gnome-integration*.rpm has a dependency on libgnomevfs and you don't need this package to run/install OpenOffice.

Typical that after hours of scratching my head and a couple of minutes after posting the question that I get it to work.

My AppPool uses the LocalSystem identity and in Component Services I changed the OpenOffice.org Service Manager to use the "Interactive User" as its identity. It just worked after that!
