Problems with 2nd Edition of book - Chap 6

Hi,
I've run into a couple of quick problems with 3D2E Chap 6. I've searched the GarageGame forums and the web site for the book, but I haven't found a solution. The issues are the following:
Chapter 6 EMAGA:
1) Game crashes in dedicated server mode when player dies
2) Cannot pickup coins in dedicated server mode - Server console states it can't find Scorebox
3) Player Avatar is not animated in dedicated server mode (e.g. you can't see it run)
These problems only appear to exist when connecting to a dedicated server. If you select 'Run Game', it works fine. I've copied the code from the CD just to make sure it wasn't my typos.
I have found these issues posted on the forums, but no answers were posted for issues 2 and 3. None of the solutions for issue 1 worked.
Thanks
Steven
