Usually, the problem is that xauth isn't installed. Here, you seem to
have xauth, but xauth is unable to lock the ~/.Xauthority file. I would
try removing that file and retrying. Removing it could affect existing X
sessions on that host, but being a virtual system I assume you are not
logged in on the console. The next ssh should then recreate the file
with only a cookie for the ssh session.
