Comment 4 for bug 387972

I'm getting conflicting responses from you guys.

Yes, it's reproducible. All you have to do is have two Ubuntu machines on
the same network and copy files from one machine to another. When the files
arrive at the destination machine, the user on the target machine has no
rights and no way to claim those files. You either have to sudo nautilus
and change the file permissions one at a time, or open up a terminal and
change the file permissions. That's fine for you and I, but stumps less
sophisticated users.

When you copy files to or from a Windows machine, the user doesn't encounter
that problem. Only happens when the files are copied from one Ubuntu
machine to another.
