Pete,

This is a little bit tricky. When client requests a connection, it sends requests to the listener port 1521. The listener creates new server process or redirect to existing one and this newly created server process bind another port. (not 1521!). The listener then redirects the client to another port.
As you can see SSH tunneling is not straightforward here - tunneling for port 1521 doesn't help. The workaround is to use CMAN (Connection Manager). It will serve as a proxy to your clients. With CMAN you are able to make SSH tunnel for one port (default 1610 or 1600 if I remeber right) used by CMAN. CMAN relays requests and data between server and client.
