I'm impressed :) As an experiment I killed famd, and it works. Does
this mean the bug should be moved there?

A little testing leads me to believe that this might be a permissions
problem, since nobody besides the user who mounted it can access this
filesystem, not even root. (This is by design.) Setting the
"allow_other" mount option (which removes this restriction, allowing
access to all users)  fixes the problem with nautilus.

On the other hand this isn't very conclusive since famd runs as my
user anyway. Does fam call anything running under another user that
might want access?

Anyway I'd rather not grant the whole system access to the samba
shares with my privileges :)

Thank you,

Christian
