Do not read either the system-wide startup file /etc/profile or
any of the personal initialization files ~/.bash_profile,
~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile. By default, bash reads these
files when it is invoked as a login shell (see INVOCATION
below).
so maybe ssh is not treated as a login shell, although I thought it was!
Have a look at the INVOCATION section of `man bash` to get more info.
Maybe bash treats ssh like rsh and executes .bashrc for ssh connections,
not .bash_profile...
