Charles Howardandsware gave more information on the question:
Update
----------

Focusing on the epoptes-client command not working; I could see from the
error message that 'socat' was being called by 'epoptes-client' and
'socat' wasn't happy with it's parameters.

I have no idea how 'epoptes-client' is calling 'socat' or how to find out. 
So I looked where I could. 
I inspected the environement variables on each client. 
There were differences but nothing stood out.

So I decided to run the 'epoptes-client' command again on each client
desktop to see if comparing the socat message with the output from the
working session gave any info'.

I noticed that the working session said:-
* Epoptes-client connecting to localhost:789

Whereas the x2go session said:-
* Epoptes-client connecting to server:789

Given that 'locahost' is a valid address and 'server' isn't unless it's
been set somewhere. Given also that 'server not known' appears in the
error message. I decided to try passing in 'localhost' as a parameter to
the 'epoptes-client' call.

It turned out to be straight forward enough:-

$ epoptes-client localhost

And it worked.

The question now is: how to fix the 'epoptes-client' call to socat when
a x2go session logs in?

What exactly needs fixing and where?

Does this problem lie within my epoptes installation? or x2go? or
somewhere in the Edubuntu installation?

Any suggestions gratefully received.
