    You should use ssh -vvv (more debug output).

    But it looks like your ssh server on remoteX11Host is not configured to
    allow X11 connections. Please have a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config on
    remoteX11Host. You should find a line like "X11Forwarding yes". If you find
    "X11Forwarding no" .. change it and restart the ssh server.

    best regards,
