How to use rxvt-unicode + OpenSSH

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue related to the terminal capabilities and OpenSSH. I've 
installed x11/rxvt-unicode port on my client and server. When I login to my server 
from urxvt (running on client), I get messages related to terminal capabilities:

---->8---->8----
abbe [~] chateau% ssh notebook
abbe [~] monte-cristo% man ls
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
abbe [~] monte-cristo% echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode
abbe [~] monte-cristo% tic `pkg_info -xL rxvt-unicode |fgrep rxvt-unicode.terminfo`
----8<----8<----

I've also tried exporting TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo.db to the server's 
environment, but no success. I'm running zsh on both ends, compiled with ncurses 
from ports instead of base.

---->8---->8----
abbe [~] monte-cristo% ldd `which zsh`
/usr/local/bin/zsh:
	libpcre.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x8006cd000)
	libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x8007ff000)
	libncursesw.so.5.6 => /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.5.6 (0x8009f8000)
	libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x800b25000)
	libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800c3f000)
	libtinfow.so.5.6 => /usr/local/lib/libtinfow.so.5.6 (0x800e5c000)
----8<----8<-----

And the surprising thing is, if I start zsh in urxvt, running on my server, it 
works fine. No such warning printing at all.

Any ideas, what is causing this ?

TIA
