I understand your problem now.  I fixed it.
                                                                                                        
We upgraded the version of ssh we were using.  In your case, you are running commands (`hostname` for
one) before you set any PATH variables so it is only looking in the PATH that sshd gives you.  The PATH
that ssh gives you changed because it is compiled into sshd.  I just set some default paths in /etc
files.  Believe it or not, we've never done that before as we've always told people to source the
/usr/local/etc/fermi* files first thing.
                                                                                                        
It was only working for you when you did "source .cshrc" because at the bottom of your .cshrc you alias
the hostname command to a uname command so the second time it runs you are actually running uname and
not hostname.
