After trying for nearly two weeks, I have to face up to the fact that I'm not able to reproduce the bug anymore. I'm not sure if this is due to patches and / or product updates, but I have been running my music program more or less constantly and I haven't had virtual memory rising on me as I had before.
I would like to close with the fact that I found using valgrind difficult in my situation (having to monitor gvfsd), as it is hooked up to the system / X11 initialisation scripts and didn't respond well to the wrapper script solution that was offered to me both by Sebastien and by an article on this site. I think you can get rid of this bug listing. Thank you for all the help.
