Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus


When attempting to overwrite existing files on an sshfs mount point nautilus 
fails - stating that it is unable to rename temporary the file.

I imagine this relates to the way in which nautilus overwrites files -
writing the data to a temporary file, then renaming that file to the new
file name (in order to make the copy more like an atomic operation).  If
this is the case, I believe that nautilus makes a local copy of the
file, then falls over when trying to rename the file to the remote
location.

To recreate the bug...

Mount a drive using sshfs:
  > sshfs <remote_system>:<remote_path> <local_path>

Open the local mount point:
 > nautilus <local_path>

Copy a file that replaces an existing file of the same name on the
remote machine.

Error!
