Check permissions on the key file.  I assume you run tripwire as root?

.Xauthority may not be there if root is not logged in.  I had to play
some games with my tripwire configs.  Seems that /root had a number of
.xauthxxxxxx files that change each time you su to root.  Never really
found a really good solution for that.
