Hi there,

I solved similar problem by enabling line

	PermitUserEnvironment yes

in /etc/sshd_config and copying my .bashrc as

	~/.ssh/environment

In man pages of sshd it says:

"
6.   Reads the file $HOME/.ssh/environment, if it exists, and users
       are allowed to change their environment.  See the
       PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5).man sshd
"
