EFS 1.9 bug: Secret directories !!

Greetings earthlings:


Not really a bug, but, there are a number of secret directories on
Linux sites which is difficult to get to using dired/efs. Basically
even if you do ^X^F <site>:/pub/OS/Linux/ALPHA/sound/ it comes up with
C-u M-x make-directory .... Basically this is a request to see if its
possible to add support for these wonders of security, perhaps
dired-cd-secret-dir

Thanks,

Adrian
