Strange ssh problem?

Hi all,

I am trying to run a script on a server remotely with ssh using the below command with no success

ssh user@server.edu sh foldername/myscript.sh

and the script is:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
unset DISPLAY
matlab > matlab.out 2>&1 << EOF
matlabfile
print file
exit
EOF
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
here "matlab" is a program which runs another script called "matlabfile"
But the script somehow does not run.

I know for a fact that the way I am calling the script through ssh is right and I am pointing in the right location of the script. However the fact that is in a folder which is not my main user directory causes it to not be able to run through ssh. I can run it fine through ssh if the script is in the main user directory but not if it is in a folder within the main directory.

I can also confirm that if I connect to the server and cd into the folder and run it from there (sh myscript.sh), it also runs just fine.

This is driving me crazy.

Can anyone help?
Thanks!
