You mean the server that works is where the NFS share is mounted *from* - so for
the server, this is a local filesystem, while for the workstation, it's a
remotely mounted NFS file system, right?

Precisely.

Well, interesting. Is this file still available? If yes, what is its content?

Also, if available, the "clients" file would be interesting.

In which directory? Here's what's in /tmp/.x2go-localguy/C-localguy-137-1509136412_stDXFCE_dp32:

I'm not sure which piece of the puzzle this is referring to. I addressed it in the last email. 
Can you clarify? Update what package? X2Go on Mac is 4.1.1.1. On the server? We use this repo for nx-libs3.6 which appears to be the latest:
