Which version of Tramp are you using? You find it by "C-h v tramp-version".
I remember a problem with remote temporary directories, fixed in Tramp 2.2.6.

Btw, I don't use org. For local tests, what shall I apply in order to
execute the code in #+BEGIN_SRC  ... #+END_SRC?

Best regards, Michael (Tramp maintainer).
