Command-line problem

I was trying to use sodipodi remotely over SSH to export a png from an svg
file, like so:

sodipodi -z -f /home/edwards/projects/kelcey/kelcey4.svg -e kelcey4.png -w
720 -h 480

But I keep getting the following error:
Gdk-WARNING **: cannot open display: (null)

Can I use sodipodi without having an X server running?  Or does -z just
not bring up the gui, even though it still requires a display to exist?
