what i use is:
ssh -C -L 5801:remote_ip:5901 remote_ip
(then i answer all password prompts correctly ;-) for remote host and are left at a
$shell prompt
then in DIFFERENT xterm window:
vncviewer -shared -encodings 'tight copyrect' localhost:5801
In the ssh window i then get the message:
fwd connect from localhost to local port sshdfwd-5801
