Are you doing an su or something before you run the X program?  I  
have not had problems launching X programs in side a jail over ssh  
but I did get that same error when I did an su first since I was no  
longer my username.  I copied the .Xauthority over from my user into  
~root and it worked.  (In case anyone asks, I was testing a system  
management app that needs to run as root to access some stuff and I  
was just testing it for someone. I don't normally run X things at all  
or as root )
