This compiles and worked yesterday!
However today, (I removed my laptop and reconnected it to the LAN) it
doesn't work anymore.
I get the error: "Check the action's
properties and try running the workflow again".
Both have "Remote Mangement"
and "Remote Apple Events" check in Sharing in System
Preferences.
IP Address is correct and
pingable.
There is nothing in the console
logs.
I'm not using ARD.
Does anyone have a clue how to debug/fix
this?
Not sure, but you might be a victim of the dreadful eppc/Keychain
problem. A long time ago (at the time when Apple switched to Intel),
Keychain started recording the eppc urls with "cppe" as the
protocol, resulting in various troubles which include crashes. As far
as I know this was never fixed.
I don't know a solution: we always connect thru eppc by entering
manually the password (so, write: eppc://user@host, don't provide the
password here). It's the only protocol where we have problems: neither
ARD (since you're mentioning it) nor afp nor vnc make any
problem.
