Greg,
I would just add that this is now an acknoledged bug in the v.2
(SapphireShakeInstall-2.0s41.pkg) of the GenArts Sapphire plugin for
MacOSX. Just one of several bugs I confirmed, so far.
The first bug pulled up a root-owned window over the "login window"
during the remote install. Then it did not see the license server, and
instead involed a demo/trial mode, and 3rd when no user was logged in,
then the renders fail with RUSH.
All errors should be corrected in a newer version of the installer, I
am told. Now that they know about these issues.

You followed up in private email with this error from the plugin:
INIT_Processeses(), could not establish the default connection to the
WindowServer.Loaded Sapphire Plug-ins v2.0 for Shake 4.10.
Sounds like the plugin is trying to access the OSX window manager
(which is what the above error means), and that's bad.
Short answer is probably to just make the shake executable
setuid root:
chown 0:0 /path/to/shake/bin/shake
chmod 4755 /path/to/shake/bin/shake
