Chinh posted a solution to 'how do you run a batch job on a remote OS X machine' on 23 Oct 2004. I was having trouble with that, and he determined that the issue is definition of Unix environment variable $REMOTEHOST. If you ssh to a Mac OS X machine, and are running /bin/bash (the default shell), this symbol is not defined, and Stata will crash. If you do

/bin/csh

(change to the C shell--or probably the Korn shell; untested) $REMOTEHOST will be defined (as the IP address or domain name of your local machine), and Chinh's solution to running remote Stata in batch mode works just fine.
