Sounds like your Xauthority is not set correctly.... Make sure that
the bashrc or .profile on the machine that you are sshing to does not
explicitly set the XAUTHORITY environment variable. ssh should set
this for you, and it should look something like
waynep@marvin:~$ env | grep -i auth
XAUTHORITY=/tmp/ssh-XX8KSgy5/cookies
