The emrep database on gridctrl was not in ARCHIVELOG mode. Gee thanks, Oracle! Your default database setup for Grid Control is not best-practice!
I found a simpler way to set up the Enterprise Manager CLI than that documented in Grid Control (03) .
The 10G client has a JDK when the Administrator option is used during installation. (May be present in the other options but I have not checked.)
After the client file is downloaded from gridctrl:4889/em/console/emcli/download
$ export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk
$ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
$ mkdir ~/oms
$ java -jar ~/Desktop/emclikit.jar client -install_dir=~/oms
$ ~/oms/emcli setup -url="http://gridctrl:4889/em/" -username=sysman
