Tony Johnson at SLAC has written Java Analysis Studio (aka JAS, see http://www-sldnt.slac.stanford.edu/jas/). It is a competing product to ROOT, and was designed to implicitly support remote script execution. It has most, if not all (or more) of ROOT's capabilities as far as data analysis is concerned. I believe JAS supports ROOT file I/O now (the web page lists all of the features). Sounds like it may be exactly what you want.
