I've tested every way I can think of, and I'm very certain that I can no 
longer set PATH in any way through .bashrc or other init files when 
doing 'ssh <command>' to my university's linux servers. It annoys me to 
no end.

My workaround will probably have to be to switch to Mercurial, since 
that system is at the moment installed at the login server, and also 
supports --remotecmd in the event. Pity, I rather liked darcs. Good luck 
in the future.

Sorry, that comment was mostly in jest. I don't know any Haskell, and as 
much as I'd like to, I can't spare the time to learn a new programming 
language now.

Sorry, I missed that bit when I posted through gmane.
