tramp (2.0.55); dired-show-file-type broken on remote dirs

[Trent Buck]

In remote directories like /ssh:fs:~/Desktop, I can type

    ! file RET

to find out about a file type, but

    y

which is bound to dired-show-file-type returns errors of the form

    tmp.txt: ERROR: cannot open `tmp.txt' (No such file or directory)

It would be nice if the latter worked.
