It took me a while to work out how to send my Gatherables data to another plaer (infact I only worked it out once I read the code), so it would be a good idea to display a notice saying that the other player needs the Gathereables Report window open.
I've attached a patch that adds a message to the GATHERER_REPORT_TRANSMIT popup.
There might be a better place for it, but that was by far the easiest to add.
Patch against trunk as of 4 April 2008

The note may help some- but leaving this for Esamynn to decide.
