Someone had a similar issue to this in May... But I didn't see any
follow up...
I was attempting to have an expect script control an ssh session. It
didn't appear to be working from a bash shell (kept timing out, ?because
it didn't see the string it was expecting on stdin?), so I ssh'd into a
different machine, and the expect script suddenly worked fine. I then
ssh'd into my own machine and the expect script again worked fine. For
some reason I can't run the expect script from the bash shell, unless I
have already ssh'd into the local host. Seems very odd, so I thought I
would see if anyone had an idea.

Sample expect script:
---------------------
#! /usr/bin/expect -f
spawn /usr/bin/ssh <name>@<host>
expect "password:"
send "<password>\r"
expect ">"
send "ls -l\r"
expect ">"
send "exit\r"
exit
