This is the same problem that I have on the head node:

[root@ted Fonts]# xset +fp /share/apps/Mathematica7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/BDF

Although xfs is running on the head node:
xfs 5359 1 0 Oct25 ? 00:00:00 xfs -droppriv -daemon
It was not running on the mac. I started the process on the mac and tried
the xset again.
sudo /usr/X11/bin/xfs &
[1] 7770
