I've tried to reproduce the problem, unfortunately without success. It
doesn't look like a Tramp problem; Tramp simply passes all FTP actions
to ange-ftp.

If I evaluate (file-attributes "/address@hidden:/pub/support/auctex")
I don't reach the call of `ange-ftp-hash-entry-exists-p', because
ange-ftp detects before that the directory "support" doesn't exist. So
I wonder how you've reached it.

Could you, please, check whether you run the ange-ftp from Emacs CVS?

And could you, please, evaluate (file-attributes "/address@hidden:/pub")
This works for me without problems.

Best regards, Michael.
