tramp (2.0.25); multihop broken for me.

[Tim Connors]

--text follows this line--

I am using debian, and things like remote-chmod etc were b0rked,
because the debian (even unstable) version of tramp is so old (Dated
april, IIRC - I'll be filing a bug report against this next ;)).

So I installed the CVS version of tramp a week or so ago. I just tried
to load a multihop file, and it failed with "Not a tramp file name:
/[multi/ssh:address@hidden/ssh:address@hidden/home/tconnors/journal/J020925.1html"

I cvs-updated to 2.0.25, and it has the same behaviour. Am I doing
something wrong? I read the archives, and thought perhaps you had
reverted back to the old filename format, but that does the standard
trying-to-interpret-the-filename-as-efs trick.

Would the debian site-lisp* files stuffed up tramp's correct
behaviour?


(setq tramp-debug-buffer t) gives me no foo buffer.

tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format is ("/[%m" "/%m:address@hidden" "]%p")
