Yes, it works if I do

workstation:~$ rsh somecomp
somecompe:~$ ~/pov/tut/pov.sh

but not if I do
workstation:~$ rsh somecomp ~/pov/tut/pov.sh
or
workstation:~$ qsub ./pov.sh

and it's scheduled on somecomp

Lemme repeat myself: It works *great* on somecomp unless I use rsh to 
execute the script directly or the queueing system. It works *great* on 
workstation too, for all that's worth.

It would seem the common factor would be login vs non-login sessions. And 
since my .bash_profile sources bashrc directly, I can't see this changing a 
thing.

Hopefully :)

I'm carefully avoiding X and all that on purpose. I *don't* want it to 
render to an X screen if I do it thru a queue =P.

Have fun,
