ahha, solved!

you have to "redistribute static" before the route will appear on the
other machine. The next tricky part is that you have to wait several
minutes before you can use this route on the other machine. Presumably if
I do the same thing with bgp or ospf rather than rip, the information will
be available on the remote node more quickly.
