Don't do that. sshd should set the DISPLAY variable and xauth creds
for you. If you have to mess with either then there's something
wrong[1].
You don't specify which SSH server you're using. The following assumes
OpenSSH, details will vary for other servers:
Make sure that X forwarding is on in the server config (ie
"X11Forwarding yes" in sshd_config).
If xauth was not in the path at build time, sshd may not have a default
location for xauth. Try adding "XauthLocation /usr/X11/bin/xauth" to
sshd_config (I think that's the path on AIX, you should check it).
Both of those will require the sshd server to be restarted to take effect.
If neither work, please specify what your SSH server software is (and
what version).
[1] Actually, this isn't strictly true, but if you know that then you
should know when to do it.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
