If you do ssh -v -v -X user@host, and you do this from within an X terminal
(so there is an X session to forward to ;), is there some XAUTHORITY output
at the end?

If not, then:
- Is X installed on the server host?
- Is there a /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth on the server host, executable by your user?
- Are you really sure you're running the client from within an X session? :)

G'luck,
Peter
