you might try the latest version of ergoemacs, which fixes this.
http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/

The code that fixes this is this:

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
  (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-n") 'new-empty-buffer) ; was
dired-next-line
  (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-o") 'other-window) ; was dired-
omit-mode
  (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-s") 'isearch-forward) ; was
prefix in emacs 23.
 ))
