Solving this issue is important to us. We have a tool
that triggers a remote job via an ssh client. If this
general approach works:

  ssh remotehostname "job arg1 arg2.."

I think our tool will work.

Does the strace log hint at a solution? Is there any other
test I might try that would help you debug this?

I'm not convinced the remote command is being invoked.
Here is an informal test I ran on my home PC on 12/27 after 10pm:

  $ uname -a
  CYGWIN_NT-5.0 argon 1.5.19s(0.149/4/2) 20051227 16:45:51 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
  $ ls -lu /bin/echo #last access time 
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 04:05 /bin/echo*
  $ ssh localhost -l adm_tsr '/bin/echo hi'
  adm_tsr AT localhost's password:
  $ : nothing echoed - the problem!
  $ ls -lu /bin/echo # next line shows /bin/echo was not read in ssh session
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 04:05 /bin/echo*
  $ /bin/echo xx  #force read now
  xx
  $ ls -lu /bin/echo 
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 22:51 /bin/echo*
  $

So the ssh session silently dies before the remote '/bin/echo'
command runs?

thanks,

BTW, I just re-ran the test, and found ssh exits w/status 0.
