I'm using quantal 12.10 and gvfs 1.14 I have the same problem you can't kill VLC when it gets stuck which happens about 50% of the you try to start video. Same happens with GNOME mplayer if you open two of them to play same file. Only way to kill all stuck processes is to kill gvfsd-smb. Tried upgrading fuse to 2.9.2 since it has some kind deadlock fixes. I though gvfsd-smb used fuse but building fuse and upgrading it to 2.9.2 didn't help.
gvfsd-fuse seems to be stuck as well. Because if i try to kill gvfsd- fuse it doesn't get killed until gvfsd-smb is killed.

Reproduce; it helps if you play a video/movie using vlc or mplayer from share. the file should be open for hours. (use pause) - when unpaused, the file will play fine. -no new big files on that share will open, small files may work. unmounting + remounting the SMB share may fixe the problem, but other processes may be affected: VLC - while stuck with such samba problem, is impossible to kill, same for smplayer sudo killall vlc -s KILL .. will not kill it. and so unmounting the share takes >10 attempts..
