At least the openssh doesn't follow the same login sequence as when you
login via, well, the login program. I don't know about the sshd that
comes with gumstix (I think it is dropbear sshd), but you may try to add
something like:

[ -f "$HOME/.profile" ] && source "$HOME/.profile"

to your /etc/profile, if you need that functionality. I though that
dropbear did not behave like openssh on this, it seems I was wrong...
