I think you'd need to also forward UDP port 138 (NBT datagram service) over your tunnel - though you can probably do without UDP port 137 (NBT name lookup service) if you hard-code IP addresses in your setup ...

... erm, I don't actually know whether UDP port 138 has anything to do with that ...
Actually I'm not at all sure what SMB UDP-port-138 really does - but on the assumption it has something to do with carrying important asynchronous event information ("expedited data") about your SMB TCP-port-139 session, I'd try to enable it if possible.
PS: I'd be very interested to know which SSH implementation for VMS you're using, and where you found it ...
