I have just tried using the new rcp.el with XEmacs 20.3 following the
suggestions for installation and loading offered by Gerd Bavendiek on
4 March:

>I took rcp.el 1.48 as you released it, switched rcp-rcp-program to scp 
>and rcp-rsh-program to ssh, put in my .emacs
>
>;;(require 'efs)
>(setq file-name-handler-alist nil)
>(require 'rcp)

This loaded the remote file without problem!  A big step forward.  I
had never before been able to get around the efs problem.

However, I cannot write the file that I have opened after editing.  I
get the error:


Cannot write backup file; backing up in "~/%backup%~"
Wrong type argument: listp, "/home/wdmccoy/%backup%~"


Any ideas?
