Also, as a test I run a simple remote command to get ls of dir and it failed
$ ssh backup.webmadeeasy.net ls -lart /usr/bin
ls: /dev/fs/D/usr/bin: No such file or directory


But home directory works
$ ssh backup.webmadeeasy.net ls -lart
total 49637

To me, this suggests that you have a bashism in your /etc/profile or
~/.profile and that your login shell is not bash.  Check your user's
entry for /etc/passwd and change it to bash if you want bash.
