RPC with a string argument - working for 1st connected player only...

Hi to all!

I'm sending a string(2-7 chars long) as an RPC param. Works like a charm for the first connected player, but for the second, debug shows on the server side sentString.length = 4, and on the client side receivedString.length = 0 !!! The function is called, the player is connected.

Server side :

 Debug.Log(stringToSend.length); //Debugs 4
 networkView.RPC("ReceiveString",Network.connections[1],stringToSend);

Client side(player 1) :

     @RPC
     function ReceiveString(str : String)
     {
          Debug.Log(str.length); //Debugs 0
     }

Am networking an iPad 1, an iPad 3 and an iMac. Whoever is the server, same result. Always the second player to connect receiving an empty string. Receives previous initialization RPCs fine, though...

Any ideas???

Thanks!

Edit for precision's sake : networking through wifi. Tried strings of various lengths with the same result.

Edit2 : got it to work in a minimal scene, but not in my actual set up. Here's my exact code: Server side

 if(GUI.Button (new Rect(310,40,80,30),"SendNotes"))
 {
     var stringToSend :  String = StaticFunctions.NotesToString(notes);
     //notes is a List of enum Notes
     print("sending string of length "+stringToSend.Length);
     //The above debugs 4

     networkView.RPC("ReceiveNotes_RPC",Network.connections[players.selectedPlayer],stringToSend);
  }

client side:

 @RPC
   
  function ReceiveNotes_RPC(str:String)
     {
         Debug.Log("received notes : "+str.length);
             //the above debugs 0
         pattern.notes = StaticFunctions.StringToNotes(str);
         
         pattern.CreateClipFromNotes();
     }
