And if you slap BEGIN/COMMIT TRANSACTION around it?

I believe this is the problem is the increased security with DTC in Windows
2003. We had a problem with this a while back. This was what the support
professional from MS told us:

Let starts with a few troubleshooting steps, first take security MSDTC
configurations at the minimum level. Component Services -> My Computer
-> Right click proprieties ->MSDTC -> Select use local coordinator ->
Security Configuration -> Enable Network DTC access, Enable remote
administration, Enable Allow Remote clients, Enable allow inbound and
outbound, Select no authentication required, Enable XA transactions and
verify that NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService is set in DTC Logon account.

Restart DTC service and SQL Server and test if issue persists.

If problem persist please follow this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306843 - How to troubleshoot
MS DTC firewall issues.

I think the step to restart SQL Server is unnecessary.
