John - some wild guesses here:
I've seen vnc have trouble if you are hardcoding your
DISPLAY variable i.e. DISPLAY=`hostname`:0
Do you have execute permission on ~/.vnc/xstartup?
Try using the full path to the window manager in xstartup.
It might be helpful if you included your ~/.vnc/xstartup file.
