Subject: bug#2865: 23.0.92; tramp chmod on remote ftp fails

chmod files in remote server using tramp ftp fails without reporting
any error.  I've tried this tramp version with emacs 22 and works so
the problem may be in dired.el.  My elisp knowledge is poor I am not
able to give you more help, sorry.
