This should be possible.

There are some hurdles which could prevent Tramp from working. Password
ping-pong, fancy shell prompts, whatever. Please call
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# emacs -Q -l tramp --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 10)' /ssh:<myuserid>@<hostname>:~/.bash_profile
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Tramp understands the tilde "~", so I've shorten the example file name a
little bit.
There will be a buffer *debug tramp/ssh myuserid@hostname*. Please send
this as attachment for analysis.
Ok, I've attached the gzipped output file, but what's curious is that although this tramp call fails when I do it interactively, this command line you specified works. At the end of it, I see the correct content of the file in that emacs window. I had also tried manually doing "set-variable" and setting "tramp-verbose" to "10" and then redoing the interactive call, but it still times out.
Best regards, Michael.
