nohup

I am trying to do

[me@myPc]$ ssh me@server "nohup myBashScript.sh &"

My goal is to launch the process on the server, and then immediately return.

It is not working: The job is started on server, but I still get the output on myPc and bash wait for completion prior to asking me for another command.

Why ? It's not supposed to ! Any way to avoid that ?

myPc is RHEL6.2
server is ubuntu 10.04 and
both runs openssh
