Newbie Mac OS X X11 VMS DECTerm question

I'm trying to start a DECTerm on my Mac. It is running Apple's X11 0.2
Back at the VMS box, I have made sure that TCPIP is a transport
as in:-
$ show log /table=decw* *tran*
(DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES)
(DECW$SERVER0_TABLE)
  "DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS" = "DECNET"
        = "LOCAL"
        = "TCPIP"

I have created a display as in:-
YRW> set display/create/node=yrmace.yrl.co.uk/trans=tcpip
YRW> show display
    Device:    WSA10:  [super]
    Node:      YRMACE.YRL.CO.UK
    Transport: TCPIP
    Server:    0
    Screen:    0

but when I try
$ create /term/detach

which should bring a DECTerm up on the display node (yrmace.yrl.co.uk)
all I get is:-
XIO:  unable to open connection _WSA10:
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
ÞCW-E-CANT_OPEN_DISPL, Can't open display

and much the same for any other X application I try to start from the VMS machine

I suspect the Alpha not having permissions at the Mac end, but I haven't a clue how to change them or where to find any error log stuff on the Mac side.

Where do I start debugging this?
