I have an automator action that has a "Run Applescript" action that opens a keynote presentation on another mac.

set fileName to "Macintosh HD:Users:joe.blow:Desktop:Keynote Presentation.key"
set machineName to "eppc://joe.blow:email@hidden"
tell application "Finder" of machine machineName
        open fileName
end tell

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.
