I don't use GNU GLOBAL, but I took a look on gtags.el. My recommendation
is to replace `call-process' by `process-file'. Furthermore, in
`gtags-get-rootpath' the result is used as file name. Perhaps it is
needed to transform the file name into a remote file name, like in

(concat (file-remote-p default-directory) path)

This I would try as starting point.
