Did you read my previous comment which notes that according to the bash
documentation this is not supposed to be necessary?

       Bash attempts to determine when it is being run with its standard input
       connected to a a network connection, as if by the remote shell  daemon,
       usually  rshd,  or the secure shell daemon sshd.  If bash determines it
       is being run in this fashion,  it  reads  and  executes  commands  from
       ~/.bashrc  and  ~/.bashrc,  if  these files exist and are readable.  It
       will not do this if invoked as sh.  The --norc option may  be  used  to
       inhibit  this  behavior,  and  the --rcfile option may be used to force
       another file to be read, but rshd does not generally invoke  the  shell
       with those options or allow them to be specified.
