What's your login shell on the remote machine? I ran into the same
trouble when I tried to login to a machine where I have to have zsh as
login shell. It has no PS1 env variable, the prompt there is
named PROMPT1. As a kludge I changed
tramp-shell-prompt-pattern. Maybe one could set more variables in
the exec statement ..
