f.getInfos() does not return all data from a remote host

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. conn, errmsg = rcConnect('remote host', 1247, 'user', 'remotezone')
   status = clientLogin(conn)
2. f.irodsOpen(conn, "/remotezone/home/user/coll/filename","r")
3. f.getInfos()

What is the expected output?
(dms)[irods@dms examples]$ isysmeta ls -l 
/testZone/home/rods/122/1363042913398_B4bkAWMYteg4QhoZ

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PyRODS 3.2.3
CentOS 6.4

Please provide any additional information below.
The two zones are in a federated iRODS system.  The sysmeta command was run on
the same machine as the PyRODS code.  That machine is in a different iRODS zone
from the file being queried.
