I have always used: exec gnome-session &
Note the &. Not sure if this is your problem or not, but give it a try. If this does not work, try running it from the single terminal VNC starts for you. It will give you much better error messages. Can you do a startx on the box as the user you are trying to use? Are you running X on the console? If so, try stoping X and running a VCN server then. Try running a vnc server as another user.
