All, I discovered the reason that distccmon-text does not show anything when you run it on a different machine from where you are running the client. The reason is that there is a check in mon.c's dcc_mon_check_orphans() that checks to see if a state file ("binstate_<pid>") corresponds to a running task. If not, the state file is assumed to be an orphan, so it is ignored.
That's why you don't see anything on a different machine -- the task does not exist there. (Note: this information could be placed in the FAQ page where there is a note about the monitoring programs not working well over NFS.)
