(Get the code!)
That ("user others than the one who mounted the fs can't access it, including root") is not completely true.
I have two systems (not connected to eachother), both running Ubuntu 8.04.
On one of them I have one user, created during install, and member of sudoers. On this system I use a script that uses sudo rsync to create backups. I never get errors.
On the other system I have three users, let's call them A, B and C. A was created during install, and is member of sudoers (and as such is comparable to the only user on the first system). Here I am using the same backup script, and here I always get permission denied errors accessing /home/A/.gvfs.
I do NOT get errors when the script tries to access /home/B/.gvfs or /home/C/.gvfs!
In fact, user A can do a sudo -i, and then cd to /home/B/.gvfs, but not cd to his own /home/A/.gvfs.
So it looks like there IS a bug somewhere, and it would be nice to see it fixed.
