[erlang-questions] accessing a local_content mnesia table from a remote node

I am trying to access a local_content mnesia table on a remote node by way
of something like:

  Fun=fun() -> ...mnesia read/write ops here... end,
  rpc:call(Node,mnesia,sync_transaction,[Fun]),

and am getting an error about an undefined Fun being called from within
the mnesia transaction.

This is the first time I've tried using local_content mnesia tables (and
the first time I've fought the mnesia API in which the location of the
table(s) is always transparent to the caller).

Is there a way to access a remote local_content mnesia table without
having special code loaded on the remote node for accessing the table?

In this case Node is a general purpose disc node which contains a number
of tables for various applications, but no application-specific code (e.g.
funs for passing to mnesia API for accessing the tables).
