Not that this is sure to solve your problem, but it's a possibility:
ssh daemons can be configured to prohibit X forwarding. Try
ssh -v -l <user> <system> <x app>
to see what ssh reports regarding whether X forwarding was actually
established, and/or check the sshd_config file on the remote machine
(if you have permission; otherwise, ask the admin.)
