Thanks for the investigation. 
About your last statement, do you propose any suggestion to work around this? 
thanks again! 

Well, Shotwell wasn't really designed to have library photos on a network 
drive, and we've done very little testing in that configuration.  And there are 
other known issues with accessing photos over SMB or other protocols, e.g.

http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2878

So my strong recommendation is to keep your photos in a directory on a local 
drive, and to use some sort of file syncing mechanism (such as SparkleShare or 
Ubuntu One or Dropbox or rsync) to copy them to where you want them to be.  At 
least, Shotwell will be much happier that way today.

In the long run, we'd like Shotwell to know how to sync your photo library:

But we're not there yet.  Cheers -
