ssh reverse tunnel issue

 - Try increasingly more verbose invocations up to -vvv.

 - You might modify things to eliminate a hop thus:

       WestCoast% ssh -X -R 2222:localhost:22 middleMachine`

   ...and then connect thru the middleMachine thus:

       EastCoast% ssh -X -p 2222 middleMachine

   ...though if this fixes (or exacerbates) your problem we'd
   have to scratch our heads to figure out what we've learned.
