Are you running ssh from the Terminal in OS X, or from an xterm inside
of X11? I haven't tried doing that since 10.2.something, so the details
may have changed.
At that time though, I had to start X11, open an xterm (not
Terminal.app), and ssh -X from there.
My understanding though is that the ssh client can't handle the X11
connections at its end, since it's not part of an X11 session itself.
Regards
Mark

I can't get X11 forwarding to work between Redhat 9 and Mac OS X.
The Mac box is my desktop box. The Redhat box is on a KVM switch in the
server room. SSH versions are:
On Rehat: OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f
On Mac OS X: OpenSSH_3.6.1p1+CAN-2004-0175, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0,
OpenSSL 0x0090707f
Connection transcript is as follows:
[jamesc@marvin jamesc]$ ssh -vv faap2@grumpy
