How do you have called !rm? Via "! rm RET" in dired? This shall work.

Note, that (dired-get-filename) returns the full remote file name, which
cannot be given to any remote process as argument. If you want to use
this programmatically, you must call (file-local-name (dired-get-filename))

Best regards, Michael.
