I've installed VirtualBox 4.1.8 on a Windows 7 Ultimate host system. I've set up an Arch Linux VM that starts just fine from the VirtualBox GUI. However, when I try to start it with VBoxHeadless --startvm <vm_name> it prints the following

Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.1.6
(C) 2008-2011 Oracle Corporation

and then it just sits there. I never get the VRDE server is listening on port 3389 message like when I start a headless VM on a Linux machine.

Do I have to configure anything else in order to get the VRDE server to run?
