| Remove the "-x", and things will probably work better.

Uhm:

     -x   Disables X11 forwarding.  This can also be specified on
          a per-host basis in a configuration file.

Why would removing -x fix the problem?

I have no problems with my config:

(nntp "news2.asus.com.tw"
      (nntp-address "salt") 
      (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
      (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
      (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
      (nntp-rlogin-parameters
       ("-x" "-C" "telnet" "-8" "news2.asus.com.tw" "nntp")))

I use it in foreign groups instead of the 'main' select-method.. 

Just another thought.. you need ssh-agent to be running, and a
password to be set for the intermediate-host (salt in my case)
