The problem is: now that I have

You need to specify the machine via a URL now, instead of using the
machine's AppleTalk name.
tell application "XTension" of machine "eppc://10.0.1.9/" -- fake ip address
end tell
Are you actually able to get this to work? I was under the impression
that this was broken in OSX since day one and I still cannot get it
to work under 10.1.5.
When I do the above, the script editor just removes the "of machine"
extension entirely leaving me with a script that points to the finder
on my local machine. I have had no luck with sending remote apple
events from OSX, either via scripts or from C code compiled directly
from Apple's example pages.
I can send events to a program running on OSX from an OS9 machine though.
I've reported this as a bug to Apple, and if other people see the
same thing then I suggest you do too! If you don't see that, please
post an example that works for me to try out.
Thanks,
James
