I've had a lot of problems using remote AE in X. It doesn't seem very reliable to me. Of course, that caused me to find another way of doing what I was doing, so I'm no longer using remote Apple Events. Go figure.
However, there are two things I recall. One, you need a trailing slash.
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://192.168.2.233/"
Second, try using Rendezvous for this.
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://MachineName.local/"
I reported a bug with Apple regarding saved scripts using Rendezvous names crashing AppleScript when used or opened. I haven't looked lately to see if it got out of the "being ignored" er, "investigation" phase. ;)
