Success! -- and I cannot believe how ridiculous this was. Apparently,
psexec.exe will not run until you accept the EULA. To do that, you need
to add the flag -accepteula to your command string! I did not see this
mentioned anywhere in the documentation, but I found the solution on a
message board after much searching. Hope this helps someone else.
