Sorry, I'm just not seeing the problem. Since machine "rx1" can't be what
you are really saying (since that would be illegal), could you show what you
*are* really saying? This works fine for me:

tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://duck.local"
    using terms from application "Finder"
        get windows
    end using terms from
end tell
-- username/password dialog appears, I fill it out
-- reply comes back:
-- {Finder window id 6 of application "Finder" of machine
"eppc://duck.local", Finder window id 5 of application "Finder" of machine
"eppc://duck.local"}

I suggest you try some of the actual remote script examples from my book. Do
they really not work for you? m.
