rdesktop having connection issues with Virtualbox vrdp

Recently I setup a virtual machine on my home server (address 10.0.1.103) running in headless mode with an RDP display on port 8120. When I try to access the machine using rdesktop, I get the following response:

[user@Machine ~]$ rdesktop 10.0.1.103:8120
Autoselected keyboard map en-us
ERROR: send: Broken pipe
disconnect: Server initiated disconnect.

A window comes up with nothing in it before the 'ERROR' line gets printed out. I tried looking for this 'rdesktop-vrdp' which is claimed to be part of the virtualbox package, but it's nowhere to be found...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: I should mention, both the server and the machine I am connecting from are running arch linux.
