Your prompt does not match `tramp-shell-prompt-pattern', which has as
value "\\(?:^\\|
\\)[^#$%>\n]*[#$%>] *\\(\\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z] *\\)*".

If you add ":" as trailing prompt character in your .emacs, it shall work:

(setq tramp-shell-prompt-pattern
      "\\(?:^\\|
\\)[^:#$%>\n]*[:#$%>] *\\(\\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z] *\\)*")

Best regards, Michael.
