Yes, this is what I was asking. I just wanted to make sure that the
problem wasn't with the server. For example, servers are often set up
to disallow remote logins to the root account. (From a security
standpoint, this is a very good idea.)

Just a blind guess... perhaps tramp isn't recognizing the remote

prompt is based on the variables `shell-prompt-pattern' and
`tramp-shell-prompt-pattern' which must be set up correctly."
