That's a bit worrying.  I guess it means that it's not broadcasting as shared 
- which would fit with the error message.

One thing you could try - set up keychain authentication with keys.  I've only 
used it in an ssh situation, but I believe it can work in lots of others.  You 
give the keychain password at the start of a session and that is checked 
against known-hosts on the remote machine.  That's certainly worth a try.
