oops and actually doing what you asked results in the same

MOUNTER=`ssh $i "mount | grep data | awk '{print \$1, \$2, \$3}'"`

awk: {print , , }
awk:        ^ syntax error
awk: {print , , }
awk:          ^ syntax error
awk: {print , , }
awk:            ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print , , }
awk: cmd. line:1:             ^ unexpected newline or end of string
