The restriction on ports < 1024 on a Unix system is that the application
opening the port must have root access - It does not matter what you are
connecting in as, as such.
In the situation below, it is ssh that is opening port 893 (which it
does not seem to be having trouble with, ergo ssh itself must have root
access)
So this may have nothing to do with your problem.

Shot in the dark: Local port 893 is < 1024, which is a privileged port.
Are you SSH'ing in as root? And does your machine accept remote
connections from root? Or maybe SSH won't connect to ports < 1024? In
any case, I reckon this is pretty suspect.
Good luck,
Ciaran.
