Bug#635457: gvfsd-metadata: gvfsd-metadata creates a large amount of NFS network I/O on NFS-mounted user home directory

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.6.4-3
Severity: normal
File: gvfsd-metadata
I logged in to my at-work desktop Debian 6 manchine from home today (monday) and found it generating a large amount
of traffic to the NFS server. This traffic ceased when I killed "gvfsd-metadata"
The NFS server is a Sun/Oracle Unified storage 7410C if that makes any difference.
I have seen this error reported elsewhere.... see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561904
Here is some of the tcpdump traffic log during the "event":
