That really addresses my question because I have had problems (which I can't say that I debugged completely to root cause) where I would have a zero sized file and no access cookie was ever generated. That caused a breakage for X forwarding for me previously. For whatever reason it was necessary for me to manually generate an access cookie. Something that I believe should always have been automatic. And then everything worked and X forwarding worked for me. But your file is not zero sized. You have cookies present. Therefore that question is answered and it's not the problem. Have to keep looking and debbuging elsewhere.
