With these tests, Tramp shouldn't decide to apply "test -e". Hmm, in
your debug buffer it wasn't visible how Tramp did decide, it has taken
the command string from its persistency file. So we need to urge this
decision again.

Could you, please

- stop emacs
- remove ~/.emacs.d/tramp
- start emacs
- connect to the solaris machine
- show the resulting debug buffer (tramp-verbose set to 6 shall be sufficient)
