IPX routing is done in the kernel, just like the ip routing. It even use the same code to manage the routing tables. What you can do is to send a -INFO signal to IPXrouted when you have the problem. It will then write the RIP and SAP table out to /var/log/ipxrouted.dmp. You can then see if the entries are there. My guess is that if you can see the server in the list, but cannot connect to it, then you will find that there will be a SAP entry for the server, but no routing entry for it. Why I don't know. :-) If you have lots of disk space, you can let IPXrouted log to a file and maybe see from that what is going wrong.
