Well since you are logging in as an ssh there is nothing that tells the host that it is an X session so the DISPLAY variable is not set. Since SSH is a pure text kind of connection then you need to manually set the DISPLAY variable.
Also,
If you notice in your sshd_config file there is a line
X11DisplayOffset 10
so that all forwarded displays are offset by 10. Therefore I think you want DISPLAY to be :0.10
