Can't get the application's event dictionary

Hey everyone.
This simple script:

tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://192.168.2.233"
display dialog "hi"
end tell

results in "Can't get the application's event dictionary" in Script Editor. Both machines (running it from a TiBook and targeting an iMac) are running 10.2.4. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Originally, I was doing things like this:

using terms from application "iTunes"
tell application "iTunes" of machine "eppc://192.168.2.233"
play
end tell
end using terms from

etc... and that didn't work either, so I modified it to the really simple Finder script above. I've tried putting in my username/password (eppc://chris:email@hidden), verified that Remote Apple Events is enabled on the iMac, and verified the IP address of the iMac. Everything looks good. Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting this error?
The strange thing is, it's worked in the past, then my iBook died and I had to use the iMac for everything, so I had no way of testing that and removed it. Now that I've got a PowerBook, I can do it again, but it mysteriously doesn't work.

Thanks!
