I tried this myself on SuSE (using openssh version 3.8p1-33 and
udpcast version 2004-05-31), and it worked (both with and without the
--nokdb version).


What output or error message are you seeing when you try it? Did you
confirm that it works when starting the same udpcast command locally
on the target machine?
