I've got it: we were speaking about different functions. You need a
function which converts a file name to an argument which can be passed
literally to a *local* subprocess.

I was speaking about trimming a file name, which can be used then as
argument by *any* subprocess, either local, either remote
(`process-file' or `start-file-process').

Both functions might be useful.
