I ran into something like this in the last few weeks. 

By any chance is the remote machine a fedora core 2 box? Or otherwise
a machine with a ipv6 address? (fc2 brings up all the ipv4 interfaces
with a ipv6 interface as well)

If so, try: 

ssh -4 root at vch1p050.xxx.com -L 8080:vch1p050.xxx.com:8080

See if that helps. That tells ssh to only use ipv4, and not bind to
ipv6.
