There is, of course, a much easier solution.

Using Oscar, a utility available from Apple (you can ftp it from apple.com), 
you can get the file xfer capability (drop a file into a folder on Mac A,
have it appear in Mac B).  I think Oscar will also provide the "tickler"
function, as well, but if it doesn't there is a utility (called
FolderWatcher, or something like that) whose sole purpose is to beep when
a file appears in a specified folder.  I think.  Of course, I'm fairly sure
that Oscar will do this for you (best download it and check).
