I think ssh is "draining" the input stream, which in this case means the pipeline coming into the while loop.  Try redirecting the ssh input stream from /dev/null:

      /usr/bin/ssh bwadmin@${MACHINE} "hostname" < /dev/null

I tested that with this command line:

     ls | while read a; do ssh 192.168.1.4 hostname < /dev/null ; done

and got back the remote host name once for each file in the local directory.

Yes - that fixed everything. Thank you so much for the replying.
