The ":results output" doesn't help in my setup (I'm on Windows, the remote
system is linux, access is via putty/plink)

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output :dir /grid:
  ls
#+END_SRC

executing Sh code block...
Tramp: Encoding region using function `base64-encode-region'...done
Tramp: Decoding region into remote file
/plinkx:grid:/Users/avorobi/AppData/Local/Temp/ob-input-6116fuY...done
byte-code: Couldn't write region to
`/plinkx:grid:/Users/avorobi/AppData/Local/Temp/ob-input-6116fuY', decode
using `tramp_perl_decode_with_module >%s' failed

The /Users directory obviously does not exist on linux.

Tramp itself works in my configuration, I can open files, etc. I have the
latest org-mode from elpa.

Thanks,
Alex
