Yes, gvfs-fuse mounts a FUSE filesystem (which denies access to root by
default) in an unwise place.

You'll need to exclude /home/*/.gvfs .

If the sending side detects any I/O errors, then the deletion of
any files at the destination will be automatically disabled.
This is to prevent temporary filesystem failures (such as NFS
errors) on the sending side from causing a massive deletion of
files on the destination. You can override this with the
--ignore-errors option.
