Hmm. Could you, please, check the date of this file?

Second try: Could you, please, load tramp.el from the tarball into an
emacs buffer. Then apply "M-x eval-current-buffer" and see whether it
works then.

That makes me confused. It's an evidence that you didn't get loaded
the correct tramp. Did you set the load-path as directed in INSTALL?

Both can be ignored for our problem.

That can be ignored, too.
