I think that the sleep command after the arguments to ssh is unnecessary.

I cannot comment specifically on Samba, due to a complete lack of usage
experience, however, I have sucessfully used ssh to tunnel VNC over an
insecure network, by starting the vnc server on the remote host (shown below
as romana.hajhouse.org), then running this on the local host:

	ssh -C -L 5901:localhost:5901 romana.hajhouse.org
	xvncviewer -passwd vncpasswd :1 # port 5901 = :1 in X notation

I know this is not what you asked for, but perhaps it may help. Perhaps you
might try tunneling another service to see if tunneling works in the general
case, in case the problem is some specific strangeness of the SMB protocol.
