Bug Description

After I cifs mount a network drive, I am used (from 13.04) to having my bookmarks in that drive appear in the bookmark bar on the left. Now they don't show up. I do notice that nautilus knows they are bookmarked, because the Bookmark this Folder is grayed out. If I add another bookmark on that hard drive the other bookmarks appear as well. My work around has been doing that, then removing it.

This is really annoying. I've some encrypted partitions, and the bookmarks proven to be very useful.

I'm currently using a ugly workaround: kill nautilus and restart it. In a console, I run:

$ pkill nautilus ; sleep 1 ; nohup nautilus -n &

Running that line is easier (at least for me) than logout and relogin (after mounting crypted partitions), or manually enter the locations.

Yes, and it is happened on external hard drive also.

The workaround I've been doing is by
1. Goto menu Files => Bookmark.
2. Cick on the bookmark which doesn't show.
3. Nautilus will crash! But, it will be shown after restart nautilus.
