tramp (2.0.57); dired and smb: File no longer exists; type `g' to update dired buffer

[Rolf Schreiber]

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you
possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the
local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen
reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping kill bugs in
TRAMP.

Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in
the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the contents
of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug
report.

--bug report follows this line--

I get the dired of a window-server 2003-vmware-session via tramp-smb,
but when I use "f" to open a directory there I get: 

File no longer exists; type `g' to update dired buffer

And when I try to copy a file with "c", I get:
Cannot make local copy of non-existing file `/smb:address@hidden:/D$/ftmgr.xm'

This was in *Messages*:

tramp: Opening connection for //address@hidden/D$...
tramp: Started process (smbclient //telefun-demo/D$ -U samba -W ARBEITSGRUPPE)
tramp: Sending password
tramp-smb-handle-file-local-copy: Cannot make local copy of non-existing file 
`/smb:address@hidden:/D$/ftmgr.xm'

So tramp or dired seems to swallow the last letter (.xm instead of .xml).

Thanks for your attention and good work.
