ssh forwarding question

I installed tightvnc on FreeBSD 6.2 and I start the vncserver on that machine.
Thereafter, I can do vnc via ssh to that vncserver from my kubuntu desktop
with something like this (hostname is the only thing changed to protect the
innocent):
ssh -L 15901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l pollywog myhost.example.com
However, when I attempt to connect to that vncserver from my laptop running
FreeBSD 7 I always get this:
bind: Can't assign requested address
channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 15901
Could not request local forwarding.
Is the "bind" referring to the nameserver BIND?
BTW I am able to connect to the vncserver from the laptop, just not via ssh.
