FWIW, a v6-in-v4 tunnel I run over an OpenVPN link to give me a /64 on 
my laptop wherever I have a v4 internet connection is set up on the 
client side as follows:

ip tunnel add sit1 mode sit remote 172.24.128.1 local 172.24.128.2 ttl 64
ip link set up sit1
ip addr add 2001:6F8:96C:1::2/64 dev sit1
ip route add 2000::/3 dev sit1



And on the "master" (which happens to use sit2 because sit1 is used with 
my tunnel broker to give me an IPv6 default route), and with a /64 
routed to the "client":

ip tunnel add sit2 mode sit remote 172.24.128.2 local 172.24.128.1 ttl 64
ip link set up sit2
ip addr  add 2001:6f8:96c:1::1/64 dev sit2
ip route add 2001:6f8:96c:1::/64 dev sit2
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
