Hm. This means that the shell connection works, only the scp doesn't
work. Hm.
Can you (setq tramp-debug-buffer t), start Emacs, try to open a remote
file, then send me (or the list) the *tramp/foo* and *debug tramp/foo*
buffers?

tramp-verbose means that Tramp prints stuff in the echo area
(minibuffer). You can see that in the *Messages* buffer (for Emacs)
or *Message-Log* (for XEmacs).

See above.

You can copy the file to the info directory (this probably already
happened), then make the `dir' entry manually. I think you can
quickly figure out the format of a dir file from existing examples.
If you have a dir file in the target directory, just add an entry.
Else copy an existing dir file and be sure to not delete the ^_ funny
character.
The low-tech solution is to say C-u C-h i, though. This lets you
enter a file name.
