SUCCESS! Thanks so much for your help. I used a slightly different
order than you suggested, but it worked, and my script is now
running. And with the X server being on the same machine as the
actual script, it's running MUCH faster than before. It looks to be
on pace to finish in ~2 hours instead of ~2 days.

My method was:
log in to remote machine
start vncserver
logout
log back in (I couldn't get my local vncviewer to find the remote
server)
start vncviewer
open a screen within the vncviewer
run script
detach the screen
close the vncviewer
logout of remote machine
script is still running

I'm not sure if all that is strictly necessary, especially the screen
within the vncviewer, but it works, and that is my primary concern.
I'll worry about elegance later.
