When you do a GVFS mount you can find it in the filesystem below ~/.gvfs/ That said, it *might* be possible to use ~/.gvfs/mount/point as a destination. When I tried to backup against an GVFS sftp mount I got a traceback about permission error. Perhaps you can get it to work using different settings. A better/easier solution, if you have SFTP access might be to use sshfs. http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php?title=BackupToSshfsMount -- Andreas Olsson http://www.andreasolsson.se/
