There is an error in Tramp (thanks for reporting!). The appended patch
shall fix it; likely you need to adjust the line numbers, because it is
for Tramp 2.1.16-pre.

Then you can simply say

(add-to-list 'backup-directory-alist
             (cons tramp-file-name-regexp "~/.emacs.d/backups/"))

I'll commit it later today to the Emacs and Tramp CVS repositories.
