I again installed from emacs from :
-rw-r--r--  1 vardhan users 51251891 Feb 27 09:17 emacs-24.0.94.tar.gz

And run 'emacs -Q' and got the same message trying to access
/proj/foo/bar

On the machine, '/proj' is a nfs mounted directory .. if it helps you !

I also got following message on trying to open a file:
Directory-local variables error: (file-error "Opening input file" "No
such file or directory" "/proj/.dir-locals.el")

But the file opens without any problem, and the message is only in
*Messages* buffer.

I looked in dired-x , and found variable enable-local-variables .

When i did a (set-variable 'enable-local-variables ()), i stopped
getting
these messages !!


If this doesn't help you in finding the problem,
I can try all the stuff on another machine

Thanx for the great work in developing emacs.
