Is the SSH server the same machine that the vncserver is running on?  What
port-forwarding commands to you use exactly?

Remember that for -localhost to work, ALL incoming connections must arrive
over the local-loopback interface - you must use something like

    ssh -L5901:localhost:5901 <my_server>

and NOT

    ssh -L5901:<my_server>:5901 <my_server>
