Hello again

Now I have also tried downgrading .gvfs but no luck at all. Mounting ftp
or smb shares is still not working. The mountpoint is simply empty. 
I also tried to debug /usr/lib/gvfsd with strace, but couldn`t see
anything suspicious. Therefore my current guess is that gvfs-fuse deamon
is causing the problems. However I cant debug it with strace:

strace /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-fuse-daemon
[...]
write(2, "fuse: missing mountpoint paramet"..., 35fuse: missing
mountpoint parameter
) = 35
[...]

Any ideas of how to debug the fuse daemon? Or of how to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance

Benedikt
