You're right, gvfs-fuse does not work with NFS homes right now, at least
not with root-squashing enabled. UID 0 needs to get access to ~/.gvfs
for mounting, which fails in this case. Unfortunately, the path for
.gvfs cannot be easily changed.

I have posted a new bug against gvfs for this
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/435719). As a
temporary workaround, it is possible to symlink ~/.gvfs to /tmp/.gvfs.

I still wonder why it works with the vanilla packages, though. Does
"vanilla" support native GIO/GVFS? I tried yesterday with the latest
karmic packages, because the Changelog mentioned something about gvfs
fuse, but it did not work either.
