Creating a separate application server in Websphere 3.5.2

We are currently running Websphere 3.5.2 on our newly christened "iseries"
V4R5.

The default server is set up,and running smoothly, but when we try to create
a separate server (for a specific application) and the corresponding servlet
engine, the administrative console returns an error.

Here's what happens:
1. Right-click on the node and choose "Create -> Application Server" (this
works fine)
2. Right-click on the newly created server and choose "Create -> Servlet
Engine"
3. Provide the servlet engine dialog box with the name of the servlet engine
and the name of the application server (which defaults to the name of the
one I just created in step 1). 
4. Click OK.

The administrative console responds with an error message:

Exception:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.ExecutionException: Error during create.

ger.java:264)   
at
com.ibm.ejs.sm.client.command.ThreadPool$PooledThread.run(ThreadPool.java(Co
mpiled Code)) 

Has anyone seen this or had this problem before? The error message is not
very descriptive.
