Then it looks like ssh is not setting your XAUTHORITY... You need to
make sure that ssh on the target machine is configured to forward
X11...

Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for 2 lines as follows :
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10

They need to be uncommented.

Also, do ssh -v -X targetmachine
and look for a line like 
debug: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
as well as anything similar to that .
