I've pretty much come to the conclusion at this point that gvfs is fundamentally broken for use on a UNIX system, and the authors have no intention of fixing it by observing the tradition of "everything is a file". Too bad, but the solution for us has been to migrate our systems to something else more friendly to multi-user deployments and error-free backups. If even root can't access a file in /home it's simply game over for whatever is putting the file there. We don't have to backup /dev, but we do have to backup /home.
