Yes. I thought that would be a simple ssh tunnel away...

Yes and yes. And yes, it doesn't work for me.

Of course arm is console, so runs fine in a screen session (which
tracks bandwidth usage over time which is good), but I have a
high-latency link, so it can look a little ugly occasionally and I
thought I'd experiment to see if arm could run locally.
This is my first relay, so just learning the ropes.
Here is my .ssh/config line:
LocalForward localhost:9051 127.0.0.1:9051
and here is my arm command:
arm -i 127.0.0.1:9051
and here is the error shown on the server side (ssh session doing the tunnel):
channel 11: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
and here is the error on the client side (when attempting the above
arm command):
Unable to query PROTOCOLINFO for the authentication type
