Should be fixed in 4.1.0.0 due to X2Go Client now always starting a private sshd
instance. Please test.

Closing bug, report back if it's not fixed for you. If you're still using X2Go,
that is...

Can you cross-check the observed problem with latest X2Go Client [1]??? 

Can you launch X2Go Client from a terminal on Mac OS X and use a tool 
like strace (if that exists) and check its output for pointers to 
file-not-found errors? 

That would be really helpful for tracking down this issue.
