Check your ssh and ssh server settings. Often the process invoked from non-interactive ssh connection (such as the attempt to invoke receive-pack) would not get the PATH you set up in ~/.login or ~/.bash_profile.

	$ ssh newberry.ihepa.ufl.edu sh -c 'echo $PATH'

may be a good starting point to test this, and the first step to fix it would be

	$ man ssh
	$ man sshd
