I am wondering if your problem is on the server side. It seems like  
you are using a very outdate x2goagent version.

If possible for you, please test our (still not final) new build of  
libnx. So, on the server, please install from

deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian squeeze heuler

Greets,
Mike
