This could be just a manifestation of bug #435719. Not sure though, because the original report does not mention if /home is mounted on NFS.

The RMB menu for an ODT file on an SFTP folder only offers "archive manager" or "archive mounter", while when opening the properties dialog for such a file, in the "Open With" tab, OpenOffice.org Writer is clearly listed and selected as the default option. Even starting Writer directly from the menu and using the "Open file" command to browse to the SFTP folder (which is listed as an active mount point) doesn't work - after selecting the file and clicking Open, nothing happens: Writer just sits there doing nothing. the only workaround is to copy the file to a local folder, edit it, save it and copy it back.
