from man bash --noprofile Do not read either the system-wide startup file /etc/profile or any of the personal initialization files ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile. By default, bash reads these files when it is invoked as a login shell (see INVOCATION below). so maybe ssh is not treated as a login shell, although I thought it was! Have a look at the INVOCATION section of `man bash` to get more info. Maybe bash treats ssh like rsh and executes .bashrc for ssh connections, not .bash_profile...
