Perhaps it's the case that 'hg' isn't in the path. You can see from the command line that's being invoked that 'hg' is being run as 'hg', which means it has to be in the server's path. Try using the --remotecmd option to clone to give the full path to the hg executable on the server (good luck getting the windows quoting right).

It's possible that your plink hg version test works because it's launched as an interactive shell which gets a different path -- at least that frequently stymies people on unix.
