Not sure if this will help, but FWIW:

I just set up openssh on a WinXP, authorized port 22 on the Windows
Firewall, and then used remmina to use RDP via ssh (password) to review
& control the WinXP desktop from Ubuntu 11.04 and 12.04. Works w/o issue.

Note: I _only_ only have 22 open for ssh on the Windows Firewall
Exceptions tab - I do _not_ have the ports for 'Remote Desktop' and
'Remote Assistance' open as they are not needed with an ssh tunnel.

To set up my remmina RDP session:
 - New Connection
Basic Tab:
  - Server: <IP address of the WinXP machine>
  o Use Window size
  - Quality: Poor (fastest) (I'm testing via a LAN)
Advanced Tab:
   - Quality: Poor (fastest)
SSH Tab:
 - Enable SSH Tunnel
 o Same server at port 22
 - User name: <valid WinXP username>
 o Password (I reckon in your case you'd check 'Public key')
Connect

No clue regarding your script - sorry.
