Apologies for the delayed response.
This issue should be fixed as of the following Gnulib commit:
$ commit 9a38d499ca16f2f4304992eb1ab0894cd0b478e1

mountlist: recognize fuse.portal as dummy file system
This was originally proposed at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2021-02/msg00053.html
As the full review might take some time, would it be possible to apply
at least the part related to fuse.portal file systems? They started to
cause problems recently:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-desktop-portal/+bug/1905623
https://github.com/muesli/duf/issues/35
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1913358
That commit was included in coreutils-9.0.
Whether or not it was a coreutils bug is debatable. My understanding is
that statfs ("/run/user/1000/doc", ...) was returning EPERM on a FUSE
file system mounted by xdg-desktop-portal, which is a bit strange. You
can see more discussion about this here [1].
It looks like has since been fixed with this commit to provide a mostly
zero-ed out struct statfs without failing [2].
Also, I want to be clear that I am not blaming the xdg-desktop-portal
developers for this. I say that because people were pushy and quite rude
to them when reporting this [3][4], unfortunately.
Closing this one, thanks for the report!
Collin
