I would certainly follow this hint.
IIRC in Tru64 /var is "part" of /usr by default,
and IIRC CDE tries to write into /var/dt, e.g. into
/var/dt/Xerrors and /var/dt/tmp.

Besides that, your problem looks similar to a network problem
I had on an AIX box with 2 NICs where the wrong one was configured.
One could reach the machine from outside-in, but couldn't
connect from inside-out. And since CDE-logins are very sensitive on
properly functioning network configurations, CDE didn't work
until the network issues were fixed.
