How can I go about implementing dbus to communicate over TCP?

Have you tried setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, using dbus_bus_get and
seeing if you get the same results?  You should also put your bus in
verbose mode to see if it is receiving the message.  You may need to
compile D-Bus with verbose mode on.  To run in verbose mode set
DBUS_VERBOSE=1 and run dbus with the --nofork switch.  Also check to see
if your firewall is blocking messages.
