Try it without the extra ';' there.

  $ nohup xmonad </dev/null >> ~/.xsession-errors 2>&1 & disown

  man bash

   Lists
       A list is a sequence of one or more pipelines separated by one
       of the operators ;, &, &&, or ||, and optionally terminated by
       one of ;, &, or <newline>.

The '&' and ';' occupy the same position in the command list.  It is
one or the other but not both.
