You need to copy your .Xauthority file. This file is created at every
login and sshd uses that to authorize X connections. My routine is:
ssh accesshost
...
accesshost% rcp .Xauthority remotehost:
accesshost% echo $DISPLAY
accesshost:10.0
accesshost% rlogin remotehost
...
remotehost% setenv DISPLAY accesshost:10.0
remotehost%
