I experience similar problem with windows partitions mounted using gvfs-mount smb://.... in Karmic Koala. Some applications (thunderbird, mathematica, so far) refuse to write to these partitions saying they are full or my quota is exceeded (I can provide the exact messages if needed), while other apps work fine : Nautilus, OpenOffice, Gedit, Inkscape..... I have another machine running 8.04 where the exact same partitions are mounted using cifs in fstab, and no such problem occurs.

OK, as Sebastien Bacher said, the initial reporter was maybe making a logical connection too quickly, but I think there is no doubt now that some applications erroneously think that these gvfs mounted partitions are full. It could be good to change the title of this report, to make it more accurate, if possible.
