Sorry; I'm not being clear. X forwarding works like this: if you ssh from
A to B with X forwarding on, it allows you to run X clients on B and have
them display on an X server running on A. That is what the -Y in your
command does. You, however, want to do the oppsite, and are forwarding a
local port to the X server on the remote side. The -Y in your command is
irrelevant and will have no effect on what you're trying to do.

What you're trying can work. However, the SSH error suggests that there's
nothing listening on port 6000 on the outside host. Try the host's
non-loopback IP address instead of localhost, on the chance that it's not
listening on the loopback. It's also possible that the X server is not
listening via TCP at all; if it's configured for local clients only, it
may be using a Unix socket only.
