To save anyone else from looking it up: errno 111 == ECONNREFUSED

If you run a port forward normally from the command line and do and lsof 
on ssh's pid what port is in listening on?  Ditto for sshd with remote 
forwarding.

Other wild guesses: do you have a loopback interface and is it up?  What 
does "localhost" resolve to?  Maybe it's a IPv6 vs. IPv4 thing?

usually comes from bad judgement.
