Slightly better.  Usually if I'm in shell mode and launch under MPI, 
ess-remote works (but sometimes it doesn't).  Usually if I'm in iEss 
mode (i.e., in a shell after I've exited a remote ess session, but 
before M-x shell-mode) it doesn't work (I'm not sure if it ever worked 
in my tests).

Using git f9722bd

As you probably know the "Type C-h m for help on ESS Version 13.09-2" 
also appears after successful execution of ess-remote.

When I say that ess-remote didn't work I mean it failed in the same way 
described originally (below).
