Try it the other way, then, just for kicks.

local% ssh -X <remote host>
[login]
remote% xterm &

There should be some complaints spewed if it can't connect to what
ssh's -X flag has set $DISPLAY to (probably something like
localhost:10.0, where localhost means the host physically remote
from you, but that's connected via encrypted port-forwading to
your local machine.)
