unable to ssh login into reverse ssh tunnel

[sarta53]

I'm having the following problem trying to ssh through a reverse ssh tunnel 
(between 2 Linux boxes)

>From home, I want to log into my work computer which is behind a firewall.  So 
>on my work computer, I log into my home computer like so:
  ssh -R 7071:127.0.0.1:22 -p 22 u...@home_ip_address

That should make my home computer listen on port 7071. So from home I should be 
able to log into the work computer like so:

  ssh localhost -p 7071  -v

Unfortunately it gives the following error:

OpenSSH_3.8p1 Debian 1:3.8p1-3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 
2004

Is there a way to get this working by running SSH in a less secure mode or 
anything?
