Actually this is not just an issue with gedit and nautilus. For example, I use PCManFM, and if I copy a file to the mounted vbox share, the first copy is OK. But if I copy it again, and attempt an over-write, it gives the same "text file busy" error, and generates same temp file. So I was using neither gedit or nautilus and still same problem.

Here's a dialogue where vbox is blamed at the end: bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 594162

And here's where virtualbox.org says vbox is OK and it's gedit's fault (see bottom under "troubleshooting"): forums. virtualbox. org/viewtopic. php?t=15868

So what next? Is this a fault with vbox?
