Unfortunately, the byte code does not show exactly the function where the
error appears. OTOH, there were some problems in Tramp setting file
permissions, when `file-modes' of a certain file returned nil. I've made
Tramp more robust in this case. Could you, please, check with a recent
Emacs 23.0.92 (checkout shall be newer than this message)?

Best regards, Michael.
