xauth by default already knows to use your ~/.Xauthority
file and is already prepared to deal with synchroniztion
issues using (some sort of) file locking. But all of that
is defeated by any command of this form:
xauth > ~/.Xauthority
...which is going to cause the shell to stomp (some or
all of) your ~/.Xauthority before xauth even gets a chance
to execute.
Just say:
xauth blah blah blah
...on each host without all that redirection stuff and
the right things will (should?) happen.
