Subj : Qemu, Failed to connect socket

I'm following this guide to setting up Qemu with doors (enigma 1/2):

https://www.sunrisedoors.com/linuxsetup.php

Everything works as expected, right up until where the arguments are passed to my lord.sh file and qemu attempts to connect to the temporary server port on localhost and map that to a serial device -- e.g. the last line! I get this error:

qemu-system-i386: -chardev socket,port=1234,nowait,host=localhost,id=s0: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused

Any qemu gurus out there??

My lord.sh file:

#!/bin/bash

NODE=$1
DROPFILE=D:\\$2
SRVPORT=$3

mkdir -p /home/robbie/enigma-bbs/dos/go/node$NODE

cat > /home/robbie/enigma-bbs/dos/go/node$NODE/GO.BAT <<EOF
C:
CD \UTILS
BNU.COM
CD \DOORS\LORD
COPY /Y $DROPFILE
CALL START.BAT $NODE
FDAPM POWEROFF
EOF

qemu-system-i386 -localtime /home/robbie/enigma-bbs/dos/images/freedos_c.img -chardev socket,port=$SRVPORT,nowait,host=localhost,id=s0 -device isa-serial,chardev=s0 -hdb fat:/home/robbie/enigma-bbs/dropfiles/node$NODE -hdc fat:/home/robbie/enigma-bbs/dos/go/node$NODE -nographic
