I found the issue causing the error and it does relate to the proxy settings when using 'auto'.
The configuration below contains org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'auto': org.gnome.system.proxy autoconfig-url '' org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8'] org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'auto' org.gnome.system.proxy use-same-proxy false org.gnome.system.proxy.ftp host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.ftp port 0 org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-password '' org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-user '' org.gnome.system.proxy.http enabled false org.gnome.system.proxy.http host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.http port 8080 org.gnome.system.proxy.http use-authentication false org.gnome.system.proxy.https host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.https port 0 org.gnome.system.proxy.socks host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.socks port 0 When I change proxy settings to 'none', gvfs is able to resolve and successfully mount the connection. In the configuration below, note that org.gnome.system.proxy mode is now set to 'none': org.gnome.system.proxy autoconfig-url '' org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8'] org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none' org.gnome.system.proxy use-same-proxy false org.gnome.system.proxy.ftp host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.ftp port 0 org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-password '' org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-user '' org.gnome.system.proxy.http enabled false org.gnome.system.proxy.http host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.http port 8080 org.gnome.system.proxy.http use-authentication false org.gnome.system.proxy.https host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.https port 0 org.gnome.system.proxy.socks host '' org.gnome.system.proxy.socks port 0 It appears that this resolves the problem. However, we can now only assume Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) installs with the default proxy setting of 'auto', thus creating this bug.
