Synergy Client/Server Issues

I have the Synergy client installed on Linux and the Synergy server installed on Windows 7. I'm trying to write a batch file that will SSH into my Linux box and start synergy after a reboot so I don't have to have a mouse and keyboard connected to that box just to login after a reboot. Here's where things get odd: If I execute synergyc from a local shell on the Linux box it connects to the Windows box without issue and synergy works like a charm, but if I SSH into the Linux box from Windows and execute synergyc [hostname] the program will run without error but it never actually attempts to make a connection to the Synergy server (no action in the log on the server). It's boggling my mind why it makes a connection locally but doesn't even attempt to make a connection over SSH.

Does anyone have any clue at all why this is happening? I even tried to direct it to a display (DISPLAY=:0) but that didn't seem to change anything.
