[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.2.8; opening file with tramp mode -> error

[Stephen Eglen]

hi David,

thanks for the backtrace, always helpful.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening directory" "no  
such file or directory" "/ssh:dreitter at ssh.inf.ed.ac.uk:/home/ 
dreitter/PhD/stats/")
   file-name-all-completions("R-1" "")

   byte-code("$,1!R(B,AFG(BM$,1$f,AHI(BM$,1$f,AJK(BM$,1$f,ALM(BM$,1$frz(B8	 

I'm a bit bemused why it is calling ess-r-versions-create

As far as I can see, that function is just called once, in
ess-site.el, and so should be run only once, when (require 'ess-site)
is executed.  

So, what is your set  up in .emacs?  Are you autoloading R mode or
something? Do you get this error in ssh when opening all files with
tramp?  what happens in you first start M-x R and then try opening a
file with tramp?

so many questions...
