how2 set PATH for noninteractive restricted rbash shell?

[cygwin at trodman dot com (Tom Rodman)]

<I'm running 1.5.17, if appropriate pls forward to the bash maintainer>

I want to be able to run a noninteractive command like

  ssh joedoe@myhost.mydomain.xxx somecommand

where user "joedoe" has /bin/rbash in /etc/passwd for a shell.  

  How do I restrict the PATH that is seen for the above ssh session?

I have tried changing and exporting PATH in ~joedoe/.bashrc but this
file is not read by prior to running "somecommand" above.

As a workaround I'm thinking of writing small c program wrapper
shell that does a "setenv" to set the path prior to calling rbash.

Sorry for the terse problem description, I know I'm rushing a bit..
