Andrew,

This isn't really a FreeTDS issue.  The error you posted shows the 
problem, the client can't connect to the server, probably due to the 
network hoops you are having to jump through.

You will likely get more timely help from something like 
stackoverflow.com or serverfault.com.

P.S. I find it surprising that you would create an SSH tunnel directly 
to the MSSQL server IP given that the server must be running windows.  
Maybe I'm naive, I just didn't realize you could do that.
