I haven't tried very hard to make Tramp work on Emacs 20.  If it isn't
too much trouble, I'll try to make it compatible again, but it's
possible that I just require Emacs 21.

Can you M-x load-library RET tramp.el RET (the .el is important), then
M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET, then repeat the error?  You should get
a backtrace.  Post it here.

Thanks,
