I've found a workaround for this bug...

mkdir /tmp/bin && cd /tmp/bin
cat >xdg-open<<EOF
firefox -remote "openURL($*,new-tab)"
EOF
for c in gnome-open gvfs-open
do
  ln -s xdg-open $c
done
export PATH=/tmp/bin:$PATH
sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client-tools
which xdg-open # should return /tmp/bin/xdg-open rather than /usr/bin/xdg-open 
now
u1sync --authorize

The last command should fire up a firefox window and ask you to add the
computer name to your Ubuntu One service. You can then sync files in
your "Ubuntu One" directory with the remote server.

The question is: who broke gvfs-open, or is it just my machine which has
this issue?
