    The patch seems to be OK wrt your echoing shell. However, Tramp
    still tries to apply "test -e", although it's not applicable. This
    is likely because of cached connection properties (see
    "~/.emacs.d/tramp").

    Could you, please, remove this file before you start Emacs? Or,
    alternatively, before you're going remote, clear the cache by
    calling "M-x tramp-cleanup-connection RET
    /ssh:address@hidden: RET"?

That succeeded!  I ran tramp-cleanup-connection.  That was the final
problem.  Now I am able to connect to that machine in a different and
more complex fashion.

Thank you!
