This is an error from the VNC client, probably related to X forwarding.
Try setting the DISPLAY environment variable before running remote-viewer:
'export DISPLAY=0:0'
Or alternatively, you could setup port forwarding when connecting the the
host,
and then run the VNC client on your local machine:
ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 root(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
remote-viewer vnc://localhost:5900

Thank you very much Andrej. When I do as you suggest I am still unable to
console in - I receive "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
