I've had this bite me before with some programs that want a terminal to send data too... Root get's email garbage then.

And in general, is there a rule that I should keep in mind when executing a test condition in a remote machine thru a SSH script ?
Act like there is nowhere for it to read info from except local system variables, files and program output. I would usually use a script like this to cycle between many boxes If I want to interact with the script, I have my box do the control while the remote does the data gathering.
Like this:
ssh user@ubuntu "ls -l /test"
echo "Continue counting files starting with a`s ?"
read answer
if [ "$answer" = y ]
then
ssh user@ubuntu "ls -l a*"
fi
It's not as efficient with multple sign-ons, but the logic is all local. The only exception is if there is large amounts of data to filter out (with a grep or something) - I'll try and be nice to the network.

ssh-argv0
SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.
OPTIONS
See ssh(1).
FILES
See ssh(1).
