Deployment API won't work remotely

Question

Hi All,
I'm using WLS 9.2 SP2 and I'm trying to programmatically deploy a WAR to a remote server but I can't stop it from interpreting the File I present as a local file instead of it needing upload before processing. If I deploy to an admin server running locally it works fine every time.
Here's the snippet of what I'm doing:
WebLogicDeploymentManager dm = SessionHelper.getRemoteDeploymentManager(host, port, username, password);
DeploymentOptions options = new DeploymentOptions();
options.setStageMode(DeploymentOptions.STAGE);
options.setRemote(true);
dm.deploy(new TargetModuleID[]{targetModuleId}, applicationArchive, (File) null, options);I've tried dm.enableFileUploads(); as well but it produces the same result, the remote server tries to find the file that's local to my machine in reference to it's own local filesystem.
So far I've tried just about every combination of getRemoteDeploymentManager, enableFileUploads, setRemote(true) that I can think of and nothing seems to work.
I also tried using the version of deploy InputStream, this worked in that it streamed the file correctly to the server but when the server attempted to deploy the application it failed because it tried to deploy app1234 instead of app1234.war. It appears that it's chopping the filename off between upload and deploy then tripping over itself.
Has anyone else gotten this api to work at all? I know that weblogic.Deploy uses the same logic to deploy but I can't see what it's doing differently to deploy correctly to a remote server.
Cheers,
Lucas

I believe that setting remote=true is saying that the files are expected
to already be available on the admin server, so no upload is needed.
Have you tried it with setRemote(false)?
The documentation for setRemote
(http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs100/javadocs/weblogic/deploy/api/spi/DeploymentOptions.html#setRemote(boolean)):
"Indicates that the operation will be remote from the file system that
contains the source. This means the source for the operation is expected
to be at the specified location on the machine where the server is located."
