Sorry for the slow reply, been traveling.

If I run emacs 22 and try to use 2.0.48 I get the following error when
trying to auto-complete a tramp filename:

apply: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (filename directory) "Like
`file-name-completion' for tramp files." (try-completion filename
(mapcar (quote list) (file-name-all-completions filename directory)))), 3

If I run emacs 21.3 and copy the tramp 2.0.55 lisp files from emacs22
into the 21.3 site-lisp directory, I get:

tramp: Finding command to check if file exists
if: Couldn't find command to check if file exists
setq: End of file during parsing

which looks like the same problem as before.
