[Borgbackup] borg can't find executable on remote

[Steve Schow]

I was wrong, I had my env in .bash_profile.  I moved stuff to .bashrc and it works now.  Looks like borg is indeed calling the bash shell to call the borg indirectly for exactly this reason.

—remote-path also worked, thanks for that.

Now I just need to figure out how to automate all the passwords and I’ll be good to go.
