It sounds like the agent is unable to connect to the server to deliver a 
certificate-signing request.  This is most likely because a firewall on one 
side or both refuses to pass the traffic through.  In particular, the 
server listening on port 8140 in no way guarantees that machine's firewall 
will let any traffic through to that port.  Make sure port 8140/tcp is open 
for all inbound traffic from all machines that should be able to request 
catalogs.
