Thanks for the feedback.

I have added the following lines to the section "4.20.1 =E2=80=98rclone=E2=
=80=99 setup"
in the Tramp manual:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Check, that your =E2=80=98rclone=E2=80=99 program is compiled with mount su=
pport.
Call =E2=80=98rclone mount=E2=80=99 and check for an error message.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
