x11 forwarding

Hey all...

I am having trouble getting X11 forwarding to work on Tiger Server. I have uncommented:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

in /etc/sshd_config on the server, and I've set the display on my powerbook in .bashrc with:

DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY

I ssh to the sever from my powerbook with either the -X or -Y option. However, when I attempt to start an X app (xclock), I get a message on my powerbook, 'Warning cannot convert string " " to type XftFont', and then xclock starts on the server, not my powerbook (although, under the same username as my powerbook).

Any ideas what I've done wrong here?
