Got that result too.

It doesn't like the machine being a variable like that.

What I got to work is.


set machineList to {application "Finder" of machine "eppc:// 
lively:[log in to unmask]"}
repeat with thisMachine in machineList
	using terms from application "Finder"
		tell thisMachine
			open file "iTunes.app" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
		end tell
	end using terms from
end repeat

Add more machines to the list as needed.  Also note that I am telling  
Finder to open the application.

I don't work.  The computers work.  I just tell them how to do it.
