Hello,
got the same problem today and readed some manpages
at first and used a little bit google also nerved some people on irc ;)

man ssh

-g Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.

comment from me:
wich can be understand it is for use when doing
ssh -L (lokal) not when doing ssh -R

man sshd_config

GatewayPorts
Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to ports
forwarded for the client. By default, sshd binds remote port
forwardings to the __loopback__ address!!! ...... The
default is ``no''

So just edit /etc/sshd_config on the remote (-R) host
and type in
GatewayPorts yes

for checking if this works use
netstat -an | grep $yourportnumber
it shows something like if not written GatewayPorts....
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:$yourportnumber
0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

and shows
if GatewayPorts yes

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:$yourportnumber
0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

So all the time keep RTM :)

regards,
Daniel
