There was a cut'n'waste error with Tramp 2.0.47. You can patch it like
this:

address@hidden:[1171] diff -c tramp.el.orig tramp.el

                    ; Emacs only

                    ; Post Emacs 21.3 only
                    'process-file
                  ; XEmacs only

     ; COMMAND
     ((member operation

                    ; Emacs only
!                 'shell-command
                    ; Post Emacs 21.3 only
                    'process-file
                  ; XEmacs only

Will be fixed in Tramp 2.0.48, to be released not so far from now.

Best regards, Michael.
