Indigoserver no longer accepting "eepc" commands

I've been relying on scripts operating trigger actions and groups from remote machines using the:

tell "Indigoserver" of machine "eppc://[uid]:[pw]@10.1.1.210"
[do something]
end tell

and it has been working very well for a while now. Then suddenly, it is now asking these scripts to authenticate, which, of course, it doesn't work.

I'm running Indigoserver version 5.1.10, client 5.1.8

Even if I run the scripts locally, with the eppc authentication, it asks for that further authentication.
But if I run the scripts locally without the eppc authentication, works fine.

I can run finder actions remotely, so it's not a computer remote apple events thing, I feel it's Indigoserver thing.

What am I missing?

I believe this is actually a bug or new security measure introduced in Mountain Lion. See this thread for a discussion on it.

Thank you Matt. Seems like a common thing. I'll research!

This seems to work when the UID (e.g. 501) and passwords are identical on both sides - most of the time. if you lock into the console you will find that even if it works there are some error messages.
Looks like that Apple is disallowing remote execution due to security concerns.

I have installed a work around: files written to the other server with a process checking on new files and execution the commands received in the file.
