Hi,
Can't you handle this with a script on the target server ?

I have this one due to a profile issue:

cat cicrunpsql.sh
#!/bin/sh

# set the isdbx environment before calling psql with the passed arguments.
# required for remote calls with ssh

#example
# cicrunpsql.sh -Uisdb3 -c "select1"
# ssh isdb3(at)localhost cicrunpsql.sh -Uisdb3 -c "select1"

# remote calls per ssh do not get the profile automatically...
. ~/.profile || exit 1

psql "$@"
