I suspect it needed something to compute the derivations locally, perhaps grafts? For example, I have openjdk installed on the remote machine, and it was downloaded locally (more than 100 MiB download IIRC), but it was never transferred, if I followed correctly. Sorry to write confusing things; I'm a bit confused myself :-). Thanks, Maxim
