After updating to 3.6 and adding Macs via iCloud (IPv6): Sleeping Macs

After updating to 3.6 and adding Macs via IPv6 (fd:xx) I can remote connect however the "Current Status" field indicates the Mac is sleeping. This is a bigger problem than just indicating the Mac is sleeping, attempting to send any commands/management fails as ARD beleives the Mac is actually sleeping even though it is not. This is occurring on all but one added this way. If it did it on all of them I would understand. I added a few back by IPv4 (192.xx) and the status is normal (available). Anyone else expereincing this or know of a fix?

Thank you!

Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Are you connecting to your IPv6 client via BackToMyMac or is it a local IPv6 address? If it's BTMM and the client is running Lion then, unfortuantely, you'll only be able to screen share with it. The BTMM tunnel on Lion does not route UDP packets so your client is not actually able to send a response back to your Remote Desktop admin machine. The BTMM tunnel does route UDP on Mt Lion so all ARD commands will work between a Mt Lion ARD Admin and a Mt Lion ARD client.
