tramp autosave problem

[Ted Zlatanov]

I just upgraded to the latest stable (2.0.25) tramp package.

It works great, except for autosave errors:

Auto-saving layouts-template.html: Opening output file: no such file or 
directory, 
/usr/src/build/86444-i386/BUILD/emacs-21.2/src/#layouts-template.html#
Auto-saving...done

Which is very annoying, since the error stops me from typing for a few
seconds.  Ordinary saves work fine:

tramp: Writing tmp file using `scp'...
tramp: Transferring file using `scp'...done
Wrote /address@hidden:/usr/home/lifelogs/tabla/layouts-template.html

Debugging shows this in the *tramp/nil address@hidden buffer:

(nil 1 3080 1000 (15780 19567) (15780 34479) (15780 34479) 824 33188 t
(60 . 19999) (2 29701))

and this in the *debug tramp/nil address@hidden buffer:

19999) (2 29701))

I have the following tramp settings (in custom-set-variables):

tramp-default-method "scp"
tramp-auto-save-directory "~/.tramp-autosave"

Hope that helps...
