The "not-mounted" error usually represents backend disappearing
unexpectedly, i.e. crashing or aborting.

Would be interesting to get full message here.

FYI, we made some changes in 1.15.1 lately, check it out.

Yes, backtrace and repro steps are crucial for debugging. Once you got
the backtrace, please put it in bugzilla.

The easiest way is to let gvfs spawn the backend and then attach gdb to
it. E.g. `gdb /usr/libexec/gvfsd-dav 1234` where 1234 is PID of the
running process. When it attaches, continue the process and grab
backtrace when it fails.
