xfs is horked!?

[Net Llama!]

I spent all day pushing bits around in order to get Win2k installed with 
RH9.  Things are running reasonably well except for one glaring problem, 
xfs (the X font server) won't run properly.

xfsdump/xfsrestore was causing the laptop to lockup, so i ended up just 
tarring up all of / and scp'ing to another box while i repartitioned & 
installed win2k.

The problem right now is that xfs isn't listening on unix socket 7100 
when run from /etc/init.d/xfs.  As a result all of X tanks.  It looks 
like /tmp/.font-unix just never gets setup with the socket.  However, if 
i simply run 'xfs' as root, then i can start X.  So i'm guessing that 
somehow permissions/ownership somewhere got wrecked but i can't figure 
out where.

Any suggestions on where to start?
