Try setting the display to :10.0.
Not really... you should not set it to anything at all. If you have
ssh forwarding enabled, then sshd will set it for you.
Even if this doesn't work, it should provide
data on what the problem is. You could also append -vv (yes, 2 v's)
to your
ssh command and search for lines relating to x11. This way you'll
know if it
is attempting to do forwarding and possibly get useful error messages.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a
travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way
onto un*x
systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist,
they survive
as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you
can help,
and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
