Well, first we need to know whether bash would help. If you are on the
remote machine, and have started /bin/bash, does

# echo \"`uname -sr`\"

print the apostrophes?

If yes, pls eval the following form in your Emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list
  'tramp-connection-properties
  `(,(regexp-quote "torolabw.canlab.ibm.com") "remote-shell" "/bin/bash"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Additionally, you might call "M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections" in
order to flush the caches.

Best regards, Michael.
