Some points:

(1) it is strange that ~/.gvfs gives you an error. Can you please run,
from your home dir, 'ls -laR .gvfs' and paste the output here?

(2) for the snarky (or not): no problems. I am told that I tend to be
too direct-to-the-point, so to speak. My question was genuine (I am
trying to be more, er, nice).

(3) for the 'man' pages (and the 'info' pages as well): indeed. It is
well-known that the UNIX manual pages are not a place for one to *learn*
UNIX -- they usually describe the commands, and the options, but it is
assumed all over that one already *knows* most of the stuff (and is just
looking for a specific option, or refreshing the memory). I do not know
of any freely-available "CLI for the Beginners" book, but there is the
Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference that goes into some details (not too
much, though). It is available from Google Books
(http://books.google.com/books?id=kHLlJzI6L20C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=&f=false).
CAVEAT: I have not read it. Another option is the Official Ubuntu Guide,
just released -- and a good book.
