One thing I miss in your zebedee client configuration file, is the 
tunnel statement which defines what /local/ port your zebedee client 
will be listening to, forwarding all traffic on that port to the zebedee 
server and letting the server deliver your traffic to the intended target.

So, if your RDP file would have a line that tells the RDP client to 
connect to localhost:3389, instead of aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:11965, and your 
zebedee client configuration file would have these lines:

command 'c:\zebedee_MM.rdp'
 tunnel 3389:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:3389

your connections would have to work.
Remember, it is the zebedee client that talks to the remote zebedee 
server, and your local application only talks to the zebedee client.
