Jay, make sure the domain aim.roo actually somehow exists. That is, points to 
an IP number.

How I do it is like this, my agents point to irc.mydomain, icq.mydomain, etc. 
"Mydomain" points to my actual network address, say for example 192.168.10.1. 
I set up my /etc/hosts to contain:

127.0.0.1   localhost   irc.mydomain   icq.mydomain

And in jabber.xml I tell it (in the service JID's) to listen on 127.0.0.1

If you told jabber to listen for the AIM transport on 127.0.0.1, I recommend 
adding aim.roo to your /etc/hosts file. Noone else needs the domain name like 
that, only jabber, so its fine to leave it on that machine only (ie the rest 
of the world needs no clue as to where or what aim.roo is, just roo).

Works for me :-)
