Hi this is an ESS related question, and should be asked at their mailing list [1].
But I guess, it has to do with the fact that View() opens a (tclk?) window and, as the R session is on the server, tries to do it on the server, which does not work. Look into rdired [2] in ESS which is a very nice object browser.
