ncpfs write errors in gnome-vfs2 applications

[Jay Camp <jayc CLEMSON EDU>]

I'm having some troubles, with what I believe stems from gnome-vfs, on
NCPFS (Netware) network mounted shares.  non-gnomevfs applications can
write just fine to a users mounted home (OpenOffice, Firefox, Inkscape,
etc. etc.) but when an application like gedit tries to write to a file,
they get an error message like "can not write to file."  The same
happens with all other gnome-vfs2 based applications.

Any ideas on what may be happening, or tips on tracking down the
problem?  I thought about running an strace when using my account (which
for whatever reason works) and then comparing it with a user's whose
doesn't.  I'm not experienced in debugging so I'm not sure how fruitful
this would be.

Any suggestions on where the culprit might be, or on debugging it?

Versions:

gnome-vfs2:  2.8.3
kernel: 2.6.8
distro:  Debian (testing)
servers:  Netware 6.50.2

Thanks,
