We have a winner!  The SHELL environment variable was set in both  
cases to /bin/bash.  Well, doing a "echo $SHELL" returned "/bin/bash"  
in both cases.  However, doing a "env | grep SHELL=" only returned  
"SHELL=/bin/bash" in the ssh window.  If I unset the SHELL  
environment variable in the ssh window, I can get dmake to work!  I  
don't quite understand the subtle difference of how these environment  
variables are set, but I am happy that I can now run our builds over  
ssh.

So thanks for the SHELL environment variable hint which helped me  
find a solution, Dave.  I owe you a <insert your favorite beverage  
here>.

Alfred
