FMP 5 via Program Linking

I am trying to control FMP on a remote machine over AppleTalk. Everything
is set up correctly. I am able to interact with any database that is
currently running front-most on the remote machine. However, if no database
is open, I cannot open it. I get an error message generated by FMP which
states: "FileMaker Pro got an error: No user interaction allowed." So it
seems I need to be able (and should be able) to open databases remotely,
but...

Why do none of these scripts work (and generate the above error message):

tell application "FileMaker Pro" of machine "pilot" of zone "EtherTalk 8th
Floor"
activate
open "Database Name"
end tell

tell application "FileMaker Pro" of machine "pilot" of zone "EtherTalk 8th
Floor"
activate
open database "Database Name"
end tell

tell application "FileMaker Pro" of machine "pilot" of zone "EtherTalk 8th
Floor"
activate
open database "Macintosh HD:Folder Name:Database Name"
end tell

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
