Just for further reference, poking around on the internet revealed 
several things related to this:

* forwarding can be done with the socat utility: 
http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/68

* William Ahern has a patch to openSSH that allows forwarding UDS: 
http://www.25thandclement.com/~william/projects/streamlocal.html

* apparently forwarding UDS is a debian bug report: 
http://www.25thandclement.com/~william/projects/streamlocal.html

* here is another effort to modify ssh to support UDS forwarding:
