Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'. Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine. Did you verify that the X server on hollowman allows connections from the machine where Emacs is running? The fix could be as simple as running xhost. If the problem is not that, then I don't know what to do. I hope someone finds a solution and tells the Emacs developers.
