xdm doesn't like my mirror

I am running Fedora Core 4, xdm login.
I am attempting to multiboot with grub, into several independently configurable linux setups, its a training project for my students to practice being netadmins. Not enough pcs for one each.
Each student has his own root / partition then shares /usr and /home
I mirrored / to other partitions using tar -c --exclude ... / | tar -x,
then mkdir /proc & /sys on each root. Configured grub to boot from any of the roots. Edited each /etc/fstab to mount the appropriate volume.
Mirrored partitions are being mounted and login screen appears, upon login however, xdm gives the message
"Could not exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession default"
and resets. Failsafe fails too.
Original / still runs perfectly.
Any ideas please?
