I am sorry I don't remember the details, but when I had this problem last year, I was going from one MDK7.2 to another, and I found I could ssh into the host, then su, and then the remote session worked fine, so I determined it wasn't the export settings, it was a permissions issue. I cannot remember which files/directories I had to change though.
