Aha!  Maybe you are running an old version of Tramp?  Do you have a
variable tramp-actions-before-shell?  If no, please update Tramp.
Old versions of Tramp were not able to deal with two prompts.

The current version of 2.0.21 or 2.0.22, see the variable
tramp-version.  Dunno what version does the XEmacs package have.
