The Java fork is actually made for a 29er tire (622x50+), so is probably the best of the "rigid 29er" forks that I'm going to find.
Another option:
Surly Big Dummy Fork It is designed for a cargo bike - not tandem rated, but should be robust. Plenty of rack and fender mounts. Disc, cantilever studs (for 26" wheel?), and maybe long reach caliper brake options.
