I use a line like this (csh is the default shell on the remote side):
(broken onto two lines for viewing)

+ "X-TERM" Exec exec rsh <remotehost> \
                setenv PATH $PATH':/usr/bin/X11'";" "xterm"

It works well. rsh doesn't get the env variables like PATH set properly.
This is generally stated in the appropriate man page.
