When I opened Apple Remote Desktop (ARD), though, I noticed that ARD was telling me the iMacs had the old client software, even though it listed the version as 2.1. So I deleted the two iMacs from my list and re-added them. No luck. It was still saying old version, and not allowing me to run commands or install packages.
The solution is to shut down ARD, open the com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist file located in /Library/Preferences in Subethaedit (or vi, pico, etc..). Do a search for your computer name. Once you find it, delete the entire <dict></dict> tag section that contains that name, save the file, and then open ARD. You'll notice that the computer name is gone from your list. Open scanner, scan for the address, and add it back to your list. That solves the problem.
