As Tim already wrote, Tramp should cooperate with XEmacs. I use the
same XEmacs version as you for testing (21.4 (patch 14)).

Hmm. Looks like an old Tramp. Newer Tramp versions report this (ignore
jka-compr-handler):

`file-name-handler-alist' is a simple built-in variable.

Value: 
(("\\(\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)\\|\\(\\.bz2\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)\\|\\(\\.tgz\\'\\)\\|\\(\\.gz\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)"
 . jka-compr-handler) ("^/[^/]*$" . tramp-completion-file-name-handler) 
("\\`/[^/:]+:" . tramp-file-name-handler) ("^/[^/:]+:" . 
remote-path-file-handler-function))

Which Tramp version are you using?

Best regards, Michael.
