My issue was solved by putting the client and server plugins into the same plugin, then loading on both client and server. I had previously given them two different names, which was the root of the problem even if I tried loading both my client and my server plugin on both the client and the server.
I still get the 'vtkServerConnection (0x15949e70): Server failed to gather information.' error message on starting up the server, or loading a file, which is annoying but seems to be innocuous. At some point soon I'll look into it and post when I have fixed the problem.
