Bug Description
I have a large directory, almost 50Gb and 45.000 files shared by samba on ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS server.
When trying to add some files to an archive, file roller reports insufficient permissions.
It can't add new files to an existing archive either, only the extraction of files is permitted.
Steps to reproduce:
- mount the shared directory;
- select any file, or group of files;
- right click on the selection and choose "Compress..."
- click on "Create".
What happens: File-roller reports insufficient privileges.
What should happen: a new archive containing the selected files is created in the remote directory.

Also, trying to create a new local archive from files resident on a samba share, i.e. on the desktop, results in an empty archive.
