sshexec not allowing commands on HP Unix 10.20

[Ji...@bluecrossmn.com]

I am using ant 1.6.0 with sshexec to access two UNIX servers. Everything 
is fine on the Sun Solaris server. However, on the HP Unix 10.20 server, I 
can can't run many commands.

For example, the following code works fine:
<project name="scp/ssh test" basedir=".">
  <target name="sshtest2">
      <sshexec host="tvtest01" trust="yes"
        username="xxxxxx"
        password="yyyyyy"
        command="echo hello world"/>
  </target>
</project>

ant -f build.test.ssh.cp.xml sshtest2
Buildfile: build.test.ssh.cp.xml

sshtest2:
  [sshexec] Connecting to tvtest01:22
  [sshexec] hello world

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 9 seconds


If I change the command to any of the following commands:

date > ~xxxxxx/datefile
date > /tmp/datefile
ls

I get back the following error:
