Thanks Kris, option one did it for us - don't know why I failed to use the obvious user/password!

The user presented each time is what we expect - that is the user we are running as in the calling mac.
The password is assumed to be our respective user password.

You appear have the wrong ~User & password.

There are two options:

Either use the ~User & admin password for the called Mac from the calling Mac. This will give full access to the calling Mac as if the ~User is the actual administrator of the called Mac. This compromises the called Mac’s admin ~User name & password to the user of the calling Mac.

or

Open System Preference>Sharing and add the calling Mac ~User & password to the preferences along with which folders & files are allowed to be shared. This creates a new password that isn’t the admin password of either Mac admin ~User.

Think this is correct, but I could be wrong.
