UURRGH! Horrible kludge (especially since I can't seem to get it right in
the first place!)
I can make it work in an interactive shell but any idea how to make it
happen using "ssh host command"?
BTW, why not use
rsync -e ssh <rest of command>
rsync will then do its stuff over ssh without needing to start a shell in
the first place.
