Oops, `copy-tree' has moved to subr.el in Emacs 22. Therefore, cl.el
must still be required in Emacs 21.4.

You could apply the following patch:

*** /tmp/tramp.el       Tue Aug 14 11:56:04 2007
--- /tmp/tramp.el16730Ntp       Tue Aug 14 11:56:04 2007
--- 85,98 ----
      (load "password" 'noerror)
    (require 'password nil 'noerror))     ;from No Gnus, also in tar ball
  
  (require 'shell)
  (require 'advice)
  
+ ;; `copy-tree' is part of subr.el since Emacs 22.
+ (eval-when-compile
+   (unless (functionp 'copy-tree)
+     (require 'cl)))
+ 
  ;; Requiring 'tramp-cache results in an endless loop.
  (autoload 'tramp-get-file-property "tramp-cache")
  (autoload 'tramp-set-file-property "tramp-cache")
