> Perhaps it's fam / gamin not being run in the proper context? 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
