Found the issue with MxLinux, had monkeysphere installed, it causesperl to be called with the -T flag, and this made having insecure directories such as /etc or '.' in your $PATH problematic.

So how did you debug this? Did you find the problem in the x2go logs? Or somewhere else? Please share your expertise, since it's a pain to debug otherwise.
One of my customers found that if he used a clean PATH and did notchange it in his .profile he could connect. Then I determined which directories included in the PATH made it fail, and then he realized those directories would be prohibited if perl was run tainted, and he knew enough about monkeysphere to know it would do this. So we took the start up out of the X2Go Xession directory and that made it work.
