It's a syntax error in the script you're sending to bridge.

Write the function like this:

myRemoteFunction = function() {
  this.requiredContext = "Needs to run in Bridge, with a selection of a file, ideally with some metadata";
 ...
}

Without all the myScript += "..." stuff.

Then run the script in Bridge from the ESTK. Once it's debugged then

myScript = myRemoteFunction.toString();
myScript += "myRemoteFunction();\n";

That's a lot easier that what you're doing now.
