I hit this problem year(s?) ago.  It's because gnome-vfs thinks it's a
local filesystem and does a "df" on it to find out if it should bother
attempting to write to it (i.e. check for free space first).  Of
course, it always fails since "df" doesn't return anything except
zeros on an ncpfs mount.

That was my take on it anyway.
