We seem to be having a few problems with ftp-find-file and
ftp-write-file.

	1) All files are found read-only: is this reasonable behaviour ?

	2) C-x C-s fails when attempting to write the file to /tmp/<something>
		with the message 
		
	Error opening output file: no such file or directory "/tmp/"
	
	  Stepping though with the debugger seems to show write-region
	  as receiving a garbage filename from tmp within ftp-write-file.
	
	  This is not a consistent problem.

	3) Having written a file back, other ftp buffers sometimes end up
	   having their read-only status toggled back to read-only. Again,	
	   this is intermittent.
