Not sure whether this will help, but it's worth a try:
Find out the hard coded path of the xauth binary in the sshd executable.
  > strings `which sshd` | grep xauth
the above command should show a line like "/usr/bin/xauth", take note
of whatever
path you see.
Add a line to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config to read "XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth".
Restart sshd and see what happens.
