    I found some references in the CDD release notes to remote access, but
    nothing that I could see specifically related to accessing a dictionary
    on a VAX from an Alpha and getting KEYNOTFOU.

     2.1  Remote Attach Problem Corrected..................     2-1
        4.2  Known Problems with Remote Access................    4-1
    
***************
        2.1 Remote Attach Problem Corrected
              In versions of Oracle CDD/Repository prior to Version
              7.0, if a standalone machine has a cluster alias and the
              repository anchor is on a disk that is not mounted so that
              the disk is shared by the cluster (by using the OpenVMS DCL
              MOUNT command with the /CLUSTER parameter), a remote attach
              to that repository from the same node occurs if you specify
              the node name in the path name.
              This behavior has been corrected for Oracle CDD/Repository
              Version 7.0.
***************
        3.1 Restrictions Related to CDO
        3.1.31 Quoted Passwords in Pathnames Unsupported
              To access a remote repository (a repository running on
              a system other than your host), you must obtain a proxy
              account. Oracle CDD/Repository does not support quoted
              passwords in Oracle CDD/Repository pathnames.
              For example, if you wanted to copy an element to or from
              a remote repository and you specify your password in the
              name string used in the copy command, you will get an error
              message similar to the following:
        CDO> copy node1"cddtest password"::[cddtest.server.adircdd]f1 f1
        copy node1"cddtest password"::[cddtest.server.adircdd]f1 f1
                                                                 ^
        %CDO-E-KWSYNTAX, syntax error in command line at or near F1
        CDO> copy node1"account password"::[cddtest.server.adircdd]
        %CDO-E-ERRCOPY, error copying an object
        -CDD-F-IDPC, invalid directory path component in name 'NODE1"CDDTEST'
    
***************
        4.2 Known Problems with Remote Access
              The following are known problems that apply to remote
              access:
              o  Attempts to change an object using a remote operation in
                 the following configuration will not work:
                    Nodes A and B are in the same cluster.
                    Node C is standalone.
                    Repository C was created on Node C.
                    Repository A was created on Node A.
                    From Node C, a user invokes CDO, then sets default to
                    Node_B::Repository_A. This causes a remote attach to
                    Node B.
                    Attempts to change objects in Repository A do not
                    work.
              o  Remote verify operations are not supported.
              o  Some forms of recovery from error conditions (network
                 errors or Oracle Rdb setup errors) are unsuccessful.
              o  Error messages over the network are sometimes garbled.
              o  In some cases, cross-repository DEFINE operations, where
                 a record contains a field that was created on a remote
                 node, have failed.
              You will still see the following errors if the server node
              is running Oracle CDD/Repository Version 7.0 or earlier:
        %CDO-E-ERRDIRE, error during directory
        -CDD-F-ERRFETNEXT, error fetching next stream entity
        -SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00,
         virtual address=002AED3D, PC=03C00000, PSL=00000000
        %CDO-E-ERRDIRE, error during directory
        -CDO-E-ERRSTARTSESS, error starting a CDD/Plus session
