I'm not sure if the issue I am facing is exactly the same or not, but I figured I'd chime in. In my case, copying a single large file works, but copying a dozen files 1-2MB in size (each) locks up when using Nautilus and GVFS. Oddly enough, I only have this issue on my Lenovo, not my Toshiba. The Lenovo is an AMD APU E450 unit, so it doesn't exactly have a ton of horsepower. It does however have 6GB of RAM and an SSD. My Toshiba on the other hand has a mobile i5, 6GB RAM, and SSD. So all things compared, they stack up against each other decently with the exception of the CPU. I have yet to have a successful transfer with multiple small files on the Lenovo. Meanwhile, the Toshiba works brilliantly each and every time. Both are running Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 64 bit, fully updated.

Workaround ========== Until gvfs-smb is fixed, use the kernel samba client (cifs) that works reliably, is faster, but needs some terminal commands to get going: # sudo -s # mkdir /mnt/cifs # mount -t cifs -o user=YOUR_SAMBA_USER -o uid=YOUR_LINUX_USER "//SAMBA_SERVER/SAMBA_SHARE" /mnt/cifs It will ask for you password, you can then access the shared files at /mnt/cifs.
