tramp (2.0.38); Followup to Hard times with XEmacs ...

[Friedrich Dominicus]

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you
possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the
local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen
reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping kill bugs in
TRAMP.

Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in
the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the contents
of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug
report.

--bug report follows this line--
after setting tramp-unified-filenames to nil and running 
C-x C-f /[ssh/address@hidden I got the error message 
that this is not a valid tramp filename 

while setting tramp-unified-filenames to t and running
C-x C-f 
/ssh:address@hidden:/home/frido/.zshrc
I got the error message that the directory containing this path does
not exist. 

I have no clue on what I did wrong and what I'm supposed to type to
fetch files via rsync or ssh.

Regards
Friedrich
