Bug Description

When accessing shares that have files that aren't completely accessible to the logged in user gfvs will error, not show some files/folders, or not show any files/folders.

Accessing folders such as C:/, C:/Users, or an actual users folder will cause the error.

Simply navigate to one of these folders, you should not see all available files. If you refresh {f5} a few times you'll see all different behaviours.

Hitting F5 to refresh a few times on an affected directory will also cause the file manager Nautilus/Nemo to lock up, probably waiting for gvfs, and not recover.
