I'm too busy this week  to figure out what exactly goes wrong, 
but my solution doesn't work. Would it be a good idea to set
auto-save-file-name-transforms to nil, because it matches only names
with a double colon (:)? (Maybe I'm wrong again.) But then 
creating of new files should work.

I see I have to sit down and learn more about emacs-lisp...

He mentioned a workaround for the second problem. I do 
a 
  echo . > newfile
on the windows box. So it is possible to do my work with tramp+smb.

He sends all mails to tramp-devel.

Thanks for helping me,
