man page on find -prune was not clear to me, but I tried all combos I
can think of, nothing works as I'd wish:

[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns -name .gvfs -prune
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns -prune -name .gvfs
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns \( -prune -name .gvfs \)
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns \( -name .gvfs -prune \)
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied

You need to tell find what to do with files not named .gvfs:

find /users/tburns -name .gvfs -prune -o -print

Will not work.  As soon as the non-owner of .gvfs does a stat on the
directory, the error will be spit out.  find must "stat()" any item
it finds to handle the remainder of the predicate and POP goes the
error.

And now that I've logged out & back in and .gvfs is mounted again, I
can test the other suggested workaround involving remount. This also
does not work for me, though I may be giving the wrong form of mount
command:

[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo mount -o remount -o exec -o suid -o rw /users/tburns/.gvfs
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns/.gvfs
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied

I'm not sure what was mounted in the examples mentioned earlier. My understanding of FUSE is that the process providing the FS is the one that must perform the mount. Remounting manually should mount nothing.
