I guess you wanted to reply to Andrew, not Jani.

pb_plist is not "the" command - there are many, which serve different
purposes.  pb_sv_* commands are server only, while pb_* commands are
player commands, as documented here:

http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/bf2-ad/ - pb_sv_* (server)
http://www.evenbalance.com/publications/bf2-pl/ - pb_* (client)

pb_plist only gives client accessible information, such as shortened
GUIDs (last 8 digits), while the server version pb_sv_plist gives full
32 digit GUIDs, IP addresses and player power rating.

The issue here is with server commands as they're executed over the RCON
system, not client commands.

There are many other reasons besides pb_sv_plist that PB feedback would
be useful.  See the above URL for all of the other commands that can be
used...
