I still can’t make sense of the troubles you were experiencing. As far as I understand it, if one has configured nix-daemon, then there is basically no way to use `NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS` from nixops and one has to configure nix-daemon by setting `NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS` in its environment. After reading the description of your issue I was left under an impression that you somehow managed to make it work without reconfiguring nix-daemon. Am I wrong?
Without nix-daemon I don’t think there are any problems as of today.
