[Casper] Casper Remote Script params problem. 6.0.1 Bug??

[Nichols, Jared]

I don't know if it's related, but we had a few macs out of the box (10.5.4?) a while back that couldn't be ssh'd into.  Turns out if you cleared the ipfw rules it was fine (sudo ipfw flush).  Not sure why it was this way, but it worked every time we ran into that.
