I dont know if its related to X11Foreard or what the problem is...

hmm just came up with a new idea why do I need to login via localhost/ssh would it be possible to setup a TCP link instead vlc://workstationip:1234 hmm need to check
You can try to find the problem step by step.

1. Start VLC on your computer and check if it is running.

Code:
netstat -platn
Netstat should display that your VLC is listening to port 1234.

2. Check VLC on the same computer and connect to localhost port 1234.

3. If this works then try to connect from the N900 directly to your computer with

Code:
cvlc http://<IPaddressOfComputer>:1234/stream
4. If this works then you can try the ssh tunnel.
