Remote Applescript hanging (over wireless) - 'remote apple events' security bug

   Anyone have an idea why this script doesn't work:

display dialog "Sleep?" buttons {"No", "Yes"} default button "Yes"
if (button returned of the result is "Yes") then
	tell application "Finder"
		sleep
	end tell
end if
-- on wakeup
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://billw@ilamp.local"
	beep
	--run script "/Users/billw/Desktop/iTunes Sleep"
end tell

Script Editor on the local machine just gives me the SBOD..

Just found the error - "Remote Aple Events" wasn't on on the target  
machine.  In this case, it would be nice if the local script would  
*tell you that* instead of just hanging..  I'll report the bug  
tomorrow..  Now that I can run my iTunes alarm clock remotely, I'm  
going to bed..
