Is it okay to run the command on the remote host? Tramp does this by default, I hope. Just hit `!' in dired... Potential problem: You can't see the result while the command is executing; you have to wait until it is finished. Another problem is that Tramp sets path on the remote host, maybe LaTeX is not in that path. See variable tramp-remote-path. (It's okay to put in entries that exist only one one machine -- Tramp knows to ignore those directories on the other machines.)
