The problem is that some people seem not to have a /usr/bin/X11 -> . symlink, though it's present on my Lucid installation so I'm not quite clear on what's going on. In any case, Maverick's OpenSSH packaging now uses /usr/bin/xauth instead (see bug 8440). There's a backport in https://launchpad.net/~cjwatson/+archive/openssh if you want.
