Please set `tramp-verbose' to level 10. You can do it in your .emacs
via (setq tramp-verbose 10)

In your debug buffer, you should see at the beginning something like
this now:

sh-2.05b$ # Sending command `ssh localhost -l albinus  -e none; echo "Tramp 
connection closed"; sleep 1'

Apply the quoted string between ` and ' on your command line. The
whole string as it is, in my example it would be

ssh localhost -l albinus  -e none; echo "Tramp connection closed"; sleep 1

This might give us some evidences.
