Here is how I configured my Tramp abbreviations in case the problem is 
there...

(define-abbrev-table
  'tramp-abbrev-table
  '(("d"  "/ssh:cs@philfour.com:/home/cs/Ws")
    ("dr" "/ssh:cs@philfour.com|su:philfour.com:/home")
    ("w"  "/ssh:cs@services.philfour.com:/home/webwork_custom")
    ("wr" "/ssh:cs@services.philfour.com|su:services.philfour.com:/home")))

(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda ()
                                   (abbrev-mode t)
                                   (setq local-abbrev-table 
tramp-abbrev-table)))

(defadvice minibuffer-complete
            (before my-minibuffer-complete activate)
            (expand-abbrev))
