Revision history [back]

I had a similar problem a while ago (IIRC, I was using Diamondback or Electric). The issue wound up being that the first line in the remote computer's .bashrc caused it to exit immediately if it wasn't an interactive shell, thus ignoring all the later export commands. Might something similar be going on for you?
