I still don't have a solution for this and because of it all my backups
fail. Now I think my HD may be on its way out becaus of errors I'm
seeing in logwatch:
/dev/sdb :
Prefailure: Seek_Error_Rate (7) changed to
200, 100, 200, 100,

Well, if you desperately need a full backup now ... just forget about excluding .gvfs for now and launch a backup. You will get an error message for each .gfvs directory, but the backup will complete. Once that is done, continue with your trials. I can't help, it have to confess that I don't care (probably wrong). I just know that each backup of a particular machine should show two errors.
