Weird. Do you have also:

  ssh: connect to host ... port 3022: Connection refused

With "vncviewer SERVERNAME:1 -via localhost" you are first opening an
ssh tunnel to localhost. This is useless. I guess you can connect
directly with: vncviewer SERVERNAME:1

A way to see how vncviewer setup the ssh tunnel:

  strace -s 1000 -f -e execve vncviewer SERVERNAM:1 -via localhost \
    |& grep 'execve("/usr/bin/ssh"'
