With me as a DM, I would say it fails. I would pick up the Manual of the Planes and riffle through it between sessions to find out if it said anything on the matter, but as the planes aren't 'close' to one another, I would say no.

Unless you're using a non-standard cosmology, it fails. The Ethereal Planes is not contemerous with the Outer Planes. In 2e, it was also contemerous with the Inner Planes, but in 3e, you can only access the Ethereal from the Prime.
