You need to look (or supply the logs), in node.conf:

NX_LOG_LEVEL=5
SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0

Then connect and start matlab, look at the logs, serverside:
/var/log/nxserver.log
~/.nx/<session-id>/session (and error)
look at the client at the same place as the last one above this line (or c:\documents and settings\username\.nx\<session-id>\session/error)

If you can't figure out the error, return here with the logs.

I think this was discussed at one time, but I don't remember the details - if you think of using NX directly to do this, it doesn't support this at this time, atleast IIRC.
