I'm not sure (that is I don't know which part of the ssh connection is doing this). ssh's either filtering out some/all environment variables, or because the connection is coming in on a pty which doesn't actually have a terminal associated with it, the target is stripping it out since it doesn't know. In some contexts, that sort of thing would set $TERM to "network". -- Thomas E.
