I've noticed similar issues writing tags to an SSHFS mounted via fuse
(the way GNOME seems to mount SSH volumes now). I thought all the work
in tagging FLAC files was done by writing to a temp file which was moved
to replace the original file, so I didn't imagine there would be any
problems. But I can't successfully tag an album mounted via SSHFS.

When I navigate to ~/.gvfs/ and then pick my mounted remote SSHFS share
and a directory in which I've placed a lot of FLAC files, I can't
successfully change any of their tags.

Has anyone been able to duplicate this behavior?
