This is a total shot in the dark, but I wonder if this little section
of the manual might apply.


Invoked by remote shell daemon
..............................

   Bash attempts to determine when it is being run by the remote shell
daemon, usually `rshd'.  If Bash determines it is being run by rshd, it
reads and executes commands from `~/.bashrc', if that file exists and
is readable.  It will not do this if invoked as `sh'.  The `--norc'
option may be used to inhibit this behavior, and the `--rcfile' option
may be used to force another file to be read, but `rshd' does not
generally invoke the shell with those options or allow them to be
specified.
