The Xconsoles file specifies the display numbers on the local system
that are allowed to run "hpterm -C".  So in the case listed above, 
Xconsoles should contain "0", not the full display name.  You can
also put a "*" in the file which says that all displays are allowed
to run "hpterm -C".  It seems that either of these solutions will
solve your problem of having a common /usr tree.

If all else fails, make /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles a CDF (see cdf(4)).
