You don't need X running on the client machine (which the BBB is in
this case if I understand what you're trying to do).
The sequence to run an X application on the BBB with the desktop on
your display would be:-
chris$ ssh -X BBB
Debian GNU/Linux 7
BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-09-04

chris@beaglebone:~$ abiword
... and abiword runs on the BBB but is displayed on my desktop. The
machine on which the X display runs is the X server, the machine running
the application is the X client.
