Errors from remote sh scripts somewhat non-intuititve

When a a remote sh script fails in babel, the feedback to the user
is "Setting current directory: no such file or directory, ..." even it what
happened is just a command not found.  It would be more useful to
see the error output as happens with the local case.

repete-by attached.

Thanks,

#+TITLE: Simple example to demonstrate feedback issues with bable remote execution failures of sh commands
#+AUTHOR: George Jons
#+DATE: Fri Dec 28 12:42:09 2012

* Local Execution Failure
#+name: localExecutionFailure
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output
xecho foo
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: localExecutionFailure

** Local Exection Failure Results
   - Message: "Code block produced no output".
   - "Org-babel Error Output" contains "bash: line 1: xecho: command not found"
   - This error is understanable.  The command did not exist.  Just
     need to fix it and everything works.

* Remote Execution Failure
#+name: remoteExecutionFailure
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output :dir /george@localhost#2222:
xecho foo
#+END_SRC

** Remote Execution Failure Results
  - Message: "Setting current directory: no such file or directory, /george@localhost#2222/behavior/20121228/"
    + This is somewhat non-intuititve.  The command failed to execute.
      The directory does exist.  Would be better to see the error
      message.

For me, when the dir is available, I get a command not found
for the xecho command.

Same here, after a git-update of org-mode.   Not sure what the issue was....
