You are right; my bad.
What I'd do then, is use here documents to supply the ssh connection with a series of commands. I know for a fact that that indeed works. See this link, and take a look at examples 19-5 and 19-6.

htpurge

htdig(1)						      General Commands Manual							  htdig(1)

NAME

       htpurge -  remove unused documents from the database (general maintenance script)

SYNOPSIS

       htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Htpurge	functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom-
       mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of this sort.

       OPTIONS

       -      Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line.  -a Use alternate  work
	      files.  Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original
	      files to be used by htsearch during the run.

       -c configfile
	      Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed. Should nor
	      be used together with -.

       -v     Verbose  mode.  This  increases the verbosity of the program.  Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. The
	      default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging.

FILES

       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
	      The default configuration file.

SEE ALSO

       Please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html and the manual  pages  htdigconfig(8)  ,
       htdig(1) and htmerge(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands.
