I found that I needed the additional parameter:

-l jviolette

Which allows me to login with my userid:
$ ssh -C -L 5954:aclug.notwerk.net:5902 aclug.notwerk.net -l jviolette-UxOlQf+vqG8Om5nTa5Z/[email protected]'s password:

Withoug this parameter, I get a message asking me to login as the 
default user:
$ ssh -C -L 5954:aclug.notwerk.net:5902 aclug.notwerk.net
default-UxOlQf+vqG8Om5nTa5Z/[email protected]'s password:
