Wild guess(s). You shifted the 2k series resistors to the other end of the cable and it started working? That way you get full drive to overcome cable capacitance but retain the current limit ability you desire. Or maybe a 1k at each end of the cable. Same reason as above. But from what you have said about observed signal shape on the scope I doubt I'm on the right track.
