James,

Don't try this as root.  I think the display for root is only
accessible via the local machine.  This is one of the reasons why the
screen savers don't work when logged in as root.

You should be able to get a normal user setup to perform this task.

If you log in as root on the local machine and check the X logs you
will see all sorts of WARNINGS like this....

Try your configuration and setup as another user and see what happens.
