Unfortunately, this doesn't cut it:

scott:*:2007:20:Scott A. McIntyre:/var/home/scott:/usr/sbin/cli

In other words, my shell is indeed the cli, but when you run ssh with 
commands to execute, it still pushes them through "sh -c" -- however, 
Igor's suggestion does work, it just means some adjustment of internal 
tools which were expecting one type of behaviour and were disappointed when 
they did not receive it.

Thanks,

Scott
