The fix is to upgrade gnome-vfs to 2.7.5, by changing to platform/gnome-vfs, editing the Makefile, then make clean, make makesums, make install.   Then make clean & install again in control-center, and you should be good.

See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/garnome-list/2004-July/msg00053.html and ensuing thread, and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148348

A wee hint for searching for these, use inurl:garnome-list in google .. mail.gnome.org's search appears to be somewhat broken.  (Or atleast, it claims it's search index was last updated 2000-08-06)

HTH,
