Multiple monitor support in RDP is only supported for Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise according to Remote Desktop Connection: frequently asked questions . Only the connecting client needs to have Ultimate or Enterprise, the remote host can have Windows 7 Professional.

Have you tried passing /span to mstsc as mstsc /span? It's a bit clunkier than full multi monitor support as it all appears as one monitor on the windows 7 system but might work for your purposes along with something like splitview...
