Zachary,

I have been having the same problem for some time now. I have reported  
it here on the Nautilus list, on the Samba list and on the Fedora list.  
Check the archives. There have been no solutions offered to date.

I have just upgraded to FC3, running Nautilus 2.8.1 and the problem  
still exists. It would appear that our only recourse to to find a  
solution ourselves. I believe that it might be somewhere in gnome-vfs  
but I need to recompile the Nautilus source to find out. Work keeps  
getting in the way.
