bash completion does not work over ssh except as root

[Faheem Mitha <faheem@email.unc.edu>]

Dear People,

I have noticed that bash completion only works on a remote machine I have 
sshed into, if I log in as root. This is obviously a case of something not 
being sourced correctly, but I am not sure what the problem is.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this, or if not, confirm the problem?
I use bash completion heavily so it is an annoying bug.

I have this in .bash_profile on both the remote and local machines, but it 
does not solve the problem.

umask 022

# the rest of this file is commented out.

# include .bashrc if it exists

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    source ~/.bashrc
fi
