Just a guess, but the VirtualBox command is suid root and VBoxManage is
not, so that might account for your X forwarding issue.

I don't know what your workflow is, but that's not what I would do. I
would be using VBoxHeadless to start the vm and then use RDP (virtual
box calls it "remote display server") to connect to the virtual machine.
You can tunnel RDP with ssh if necessary.
