Macs have X11 forwarding disabled by default.
Edit /etc/sshd_config with your favorite editor (you'll need to sudo to get
write privileges).
Change
#X11Forwarding no
to
X11Forwarding yes
Restart sshd on your Mac: System Preferences -> Sharing. Stop Remote Login
then Start it again.
That worked for me.
