Dear Tassilo,
dear Ellen,
dear Peter,
I am afraid that adding "-dired" to dired-listing-switches did not solve the problem, at least not for current versions of Aquamacs 3 (it looks like an Emacs 24 Mac-specific problem). However,
(setq dired-use-ls-dired nil)
does (error message gone). There is a caveat about "unusual" file names (e.g. those with leading spaces) in the documentation of dired-use-ls-dired, so maybe this solution is not for everybody.
Warm regards,
Stefan
