In my opinion, this doesn't reall give enough information to confirm that the behaviour isn't down to user error. For example, on the second machine the cut-and-pasted output of for u in A B C; do ls -ld /home/$u{,/.gvfs}; df /home/$u/.gvfs; id $u; done would be useful. -- Superuser

upstream closed the bug as not a gvfs one This is all unfortunate, but its a decision that has been taken by the fuse people at the kernel level (user others than the one who mounted the fs can't access it, including root) and there is nothing we can do about it. ** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu)

Interesting. There's a couple of differences in the .gvfs inode between the two of us. Your perms are 0700, mine are 0500. Your access time is today but your modify and change aren't, all three of mine are the same value. Do you have anything mounted on .gvfs, if not, perhaps it's just a
