Sure does it work if it's set up correct ie. jones must be allowed to write in the directory on server1 and the sudoers is configured correct. Best to exchange keys so you don't have trouble with passwords, ie. when using keys, be sure you don't enter a password when creating them.

Just saying "It doesn't work" is a bit hard to debug. Error messages help the people that can't see your screen a lot.
