Copying files at the command line between two gvfs mount points causes the files on the destination to become truncated to 0 bytes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount root on server1 to folder / 2. Mount root on server2 to folder / 3. Open gnome-terminal 4. cd ~ 5. cp '.gvfs/sftp for root on server1/usr/local/bin/file.sh' '.gvfs/sftp for root on server2/usr/local/bin/file.sh' Actual Results: Running 'ls -laF /usr/local/bin/file.sh' on server2 shows it with a new time stamp and zero (0) bytes. Expected Results: Running 'ls -laF /usr/local/bin/file.sh' on server2 shows it with the same time stamp and bytes and sha1sum of the original file on server1. The same thing also happens if you open meld with both files, copy some changes from the first file to the second file, and then save the second file from within meld.

This looks to me more like an upstream issue, I would suggest you to try to report this upstream also: https://bugzilla.gnome.org Thanks
Is this still an issue with 1.6.2?
Any news on this?
