Well, my solution has been to restart the OS X machines that the OS 9 
machines can't see.  After restart, they show up in the chooser.  
There's much ado about this sort of thing in the Apple Support 
Discussions, but I'm going to send some feedback to Apple hoping it 
will get fixed in a point upgrade (but I'm not holding my breath).

I can't remember
the last time I restarted
I love OS X
