.gvfs is using some secret sauce that I don't understand to prevent

(getfacl results are boring.) File locking? (lsof says it is not

would happen if I deleted .gvfs and recreated it manually with
identical permissions?
% mount|grep gvfs
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/poc/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=poc)
IOW .gvfs is a mount point for the FUSE user-space filesystem daemon, so
I guess permissions are being handled by FUSE. This is something Gnome
apparently uses for something or other (I've no idea as I use KDE).
You might try the -mount (or -xdev) options to 'find', but that will
also restrict you from crossing into other mounted filesystems.
(Does anyone else think .gvfs is a PITA?)
I usually throw in the -mount option to find on general principles to
keep it from walking into isos or nfs mounts that might be in arbitrary
places and explicitly list the mount points I want if it has to span them.
