Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

The remote folder is mounted via fstab. Creating a new empty file via
the nautilus context menu results in thousands of new files (I haven't
counted, I allways killed nautilus after a while).

But that's not the main problem because I don't create new empty files
that way, very often. But trying to move a file (say 'file.avi') to the
trash results in a million .trashinfo files ('file.1.avi.trashinfo',
'file.2.avi.trashinfo', 'file.3.avi.trashinfo' ...) created in
<share_mounted_here>/.Trash-1000/info/. Again, I have to kill nautilus
to stop the madness.

The shell command gvfs-trash triggers the same behavior.

Creating files using 'touch', deleting them using rm and so on works
without problems.

Server is Samba 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 9.04.
Client is Ubuntu 9.04, to.

When I disable the Unix Extensions, everything works without problems,
so I think it has to do with file permissions. To GVFS, the mounted
share should look like any other local directory, shouldn't it?

Please let me know if you need further information, logfiles etc.

Creating a file on a mounted samba share creates thousands (if not millions) of 
duplicate files.
