It is the right place but there was a bug in Tramp preventing
it from being found under certain circumstances.  I reported it
and got a fix a couple days ago.  I imagine CVS should have the
fix shortly if it's not there already.  Using .netrc or maybe
(ange-ftp-set-user machine login) or such are the only ways
to access using an ID containing @.  The regexp that detects
remote file names obviously parses
/protocol:id@sys@system:/path
as
protocol id       sys@system /path
rather than
protocol id@sys   system     /path

I guess that's another bug but I'll leave the reporting to
someone who can actually test any fix that might come out.
