Try
ssh -R 10022:127.0.0.1:22 home_machine_ip_addy
...
ssh -p 10022 username@127.0.0.1 # from home
I do not trust localhost (at least not on Mac OS X, as it is often times
associated with IPv6 on Mac OS X).
I tried the use of the -p 10022 and it worked. I did not try Chicken of
the VNC, so I can not offer any advice there, unless your problem is
with the use of localhost on the work system.
