 Because your first example do not run a login-shell and therefor
 do not run login-scripts ?

 sshd executes the given command without first starting a shell.
 (try "ssh localhost ps -el" and look for the parent process of ps)

 (If you run a script via ssh, then that script will be executet
  by a shell given in the first line of the script. But such a shell
  will never execute profile or any other loginscript (reading these
  files would break the original script).)

 "man sshd" suggested to try the $HOME/.ssh/sshrc or .../environment
 file to setup ssh-environment.
