Hi,

when trying this:

	% ssh remotehost "transmission-remote -a <(cat)" < ~/torrent.file

I get this error:

	Couldn't read "/proc/self/fd/11": Not a regular file
	Couldn't add file: /proc/self/fd/11

However when using:

	% ssh remotehost "transmission-remote -a =(cat)" < ~/torrent.file

all is well.

Why doesn't the first form work?

Thanks,
