The subst command creates an illusion that exists only for the user
session (usually a desktop session) it is executed in.  The ssh
session has no desktop session at all, and is its own independent user
session.

You may be able to work around this by adding the subst command to
your .profile, but should not expect subst commands from one user
session to be visible in another user session.
