Emacs 23.4.1 was tested and does not work since TRAMP expects a "shell" rather than the "SFTP subsystem" (see [RFC 4254 section 6.5](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4254#section-6.5)) interface Tahoe-LAFS supports. It's very unlikely that Tahoe will be changed to support a shell interface over SSH, since the set of commands that should be implemented to allow file transfer is not standardized. -However, TRAMP also supports the GVFS as an external backend.
