Sounds like an rsh emulation is not built into the NAT/alias code.  rsh 
sets up a separate connection for stderr, which is established from 
server to client.  Since you are running with a NAT, the server can't set 
up the extra connection to the client.  If you can, run sshd on the 
server and use ssh in place of rsh.  ssh only uses a single stream.
