On the server as root give the command "nxserver --list". This gives you 
something like this:

NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-44 OS (GPL)
NX> 127 Sessions list:

Display Username        Remote IP       Session ID
------- --------------- --------------- --------------------------------
1001    xxxxx   aa.bb.ccc.dd    5D69D0CEB041B0900E767844629BA728
NX> 999 Bye

Look at the display# above: only 1001. This means there should be only one 
file /tmp/.X1001-lock . The 1001 in this file corresponds with the 1001 in 
the display#.
Any file /tmp/.X*-lock which does not have a corresponding display# in the 
above list should be removed. This makes all these display numbers reusable. 
I suspect you have a lot of these files there, which is why you can't have 
more sessions.
Older versions of FreeNX had this problem of not removing the lock file in 
certain circumstances.
