Ok, we're getting somewhere. /etc/vnc/xstartup doesn't exist.
If /etc/vnc/xstartup doesn't exist, [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec
/etc/vnc/xstartup will fail and vnc won't work. Try converting your
.vnc/xstartup to use exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. I've included my
.vnc/xstartup below if you just want to drop a copy into ~/.vnc on one
of your systems to see if it works for you.

~/.vnc/xstartup:

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
# xsetroot -solid grey
