Well, some interesting results, if I set DISPLAY to :0, it says no protocol and does not work, if I set it to :1 it appears to work, but nothing is actually is on the clipboard, setting it to 2, gives me the error can't open display.

Try :1, :2, etc. If you get to :9 and it hasn't worked, that is most likely not the issue.
