Make sure that your DISPLAY is correct on this box, and that X clients can
connect to your X server from here before trying ssh.

Also always a good idea to make sure you *need* ssh -Y instead of plain-old ssh -X.

Alternately you can likely muck with the X cookies on the remote end -
see also xauth(1).
