Wimberly, Are you supplying the -display option (usually something like $DISPLAY or $HOSTNAME:0) when running xlock? If not you are trying to lock the server's display, which you almost certainly can not do from the client.
I run xscreensaver for each of my clients and use that to lock the screen. My LTSP set ups are for public terminals and I use xscreensaver because I do not want the screens to be black when they are idle, but beware that xscreensaver can eat up lots of bandwidth and CPU time if you let it run the more elaborate savers.
