At a rough guess, there is an environmental variable issue here. When
you log in remotely, do you get the same set of environmental
variables in Emacs?

I have noticed a problem with $OSTYPE. It is present in my shell, but
when I evaluate the lisp fragment (getenv "OSTYPE") I get "nil"
instead of the correct value, "linux-gnu".

Since this is related to psgml mode, try evaluating
(getenv "SGML_CATALOG_FILES").

Possibly there is a solution on the psyche list at Red Hat. Or maybe
you can set it in your .emacs, but that would be a work-around at
best.


Also, I have noticed a problem with emacsclient if I have two
instances of emacs running. It will send to the most recent instance
regardless of which login originates the request. The solution seems
to be to run only one instance of Emacs at a time.
