I experienced the same problem with gvfs!
For quite some time I had been using automount for my samba shares and
importing all my music from my samba server into rhythmbox was working fine.
Since I decided to get rid of automount and use gvfs to mount my shares
instead, I started having this import problem as well (I'm currently using
rhythmbox version 2.97 provided with Ubuntu 12.04).
Just to play, I decided to use my old automount mountpoints and actually change
them to symbolic links to my gvfs entries.
In such a case, having chosen the symbolic link as the import folder, rhythmbox
is now re-importing the files properly back again (and yes, I scratched the old
database beforehand).
I hope this could be of some help for both troubleshooting and as a temporary
dirty workaround for users.

Title:
Music residing on GVFS mounted SMB shares won't be imported
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
When I try to import a folder or file to Rhythmbox and that file or
folder happens to reside on a GVFS mounted SMB share, I can browse the
folders and files, but nothing happens when I click 'open'.
When that same file or folder is copied to the local harddrive,
importing works without any problem.
