You neglected to specify Python version.

As near as I can tell from 2.x docs, xmlrpclib has ServerProxy class but 
no Server class. Whoops, just saw "Server is retained as an alias for 
ServerProxy for backwards compatibility. New code should use 
ServerProxy". Good idea -- calling a client 'server' is confusing.

Do you have access to logs on remote machine to see what was received? 
Or to a sysadmin?
