I suspect quoting and/or shell boundary issues.
How about scripting the ssh component:
$ cat <<EOF > ssh-evolution
#!/bin/bash
ssh -f enterprise evolution
EOF
$ chmod +x ssh-evolution
$ aterm -fn 9x15 -rv -ls -e ./ssh-evolution
...where's that get you?
I'm having luck with the following:
$ aterm -rv -ls -e ssh localhost \( fortune\; sleep 5 \)
Peace.
