Hi James, I just tested the patch with rhythmbox 0.9.2 and a sftp gnome-vfs mount with ssh-agent. The problems I noticed were: * that UI block you mentioned * not all of the music in the remote folder imported on the first try. I had to import a second time to get rb to pick up all of the music. Thanks for the patch.
