at this stage I don't think this is possible. The rules debugging doesn't (AFAIK) implement the java debug protocol: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jpda/jdwp-spec.html which is what allows remote debugging (generally). So you have 2 options: 1) (obvious !) reproduce it "in process" 2) Add in event listener code for the rules, deploy that, and then remotely debug the event code (which is just java) as you would normally. Not quite the same as debugging the rules but you can at least interrupt things and have a poke around.
