Yup, me - I was the guy you mention below.  gmc goes and re-scans all the 
directories below where you are whenever you move directory in it.  So if you 
have a large autofs /home, you're stuffed.  It was *4 minutes* wait for me =OZ

Spot on =O)  I have this in mine, and it makes a world of difference:

[Special dirs]
list=/calls,/TechDocs,afs,/coda,/...,/:,/net,/home,/vol


Try that?
