Yes, that's the problem. The IR remote only sends a pulse to trigger  
the shutter release, it's the equivalent of pressing the shutter  
release all the way in one motion. AF-C is intended for a shutter  
release half-press to track focus: if you press the shutter release  
all the way, it just releases the shutter regardless of whether it  
had signaled focus lock or not.

You need to set the camera into AF-S mode.
