Where is the installation of Amber you are using on this machine?

I just installed Amber9 in my home directory on marchingmen and I can run
xleap over an ssh connection to marchingmen from SDSC fine. Check your
.cshrc file to see if it is doing anything strange with exporting displays
etc.

Also how are you connecting to this machine? With ssh I assume. And you are
using SSH tunnelling to export the display back to your machine? I.e. you
are NOT doing setenv DISPLAY=blah blah blah?

All the best
Ross
