Does anybody else have any insights on this, because I'd like to know the
answer too (this could be very useful to me if I can get it to work
reliably). I get a "user authentication failure" error. I am using a valid
username/password combo, and have verified that remote apple events are
enabled.

I don't know that this is the problem, but it may simply be that you are not allowed to run osaxen (like beep and run script) remotely. There used to be an osiz resource which specified if an osax was allowed to run remotely. I'm not sure if there's any corresponding technique to allow or prevent remote osaxen these days.

Indeed, "run script" does not allow remote execution -- it's a security thing. In general, scripting addition commands that trigger user interface are not allowed to run, though you can still annoy the heck out of the remote user with "beep" and "say". [1]


For the implementors in the crowd, this is done in code. The first thing the command does is check the event source attribute; if it's remote, it returns an error.
