I have a very similar problem when using a samba share.

The remote folder is mounted via fstab. When Unix Entensions are enabled, creating a new empty file via the nautilus context menu results in thousands of new files (I haven't counted, I allways killed nautilus after a while).

But that's not the main problem because I don't create new empty files that way, very often. But trying to move a file (say 'file.avi') to the trash results in a million .trashinfo files ('file.1.avi.trashinfo', 'file.2.avi.trashinfo', 'file.3.avi.trashinfo' ...) created in <share_mounted_here>/.Trash-1000/info/. Again, I have to kill nautilus to stop the madness.

Creating files using 'touch', deleting them using rm and so on works without problems.

Server is Samba 3.3.2 on Jaunty.
Client is Jaunty, to.

When I disable the Unix Extensions, everything works without problems, so I think it has to do with file permissions. To GVFS, the mounted share should look like any other local directory, shouldn't it?
