[gentoo-user] .gvfs breaks my backup scripts - what to do about it?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have an annoying problem which I'd like to fix.
Something (probably some Gnome application) repeatedly creates the 
folder
.gvfs  with permissions dr-x------ 2 jarausch users

When I run tar (as root!) I get
tar: ./jarausch/.gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied

which sets an error return code for tar or even terminates tar.

What I can do about this?  (I don't run the Gnome desktop, just some
Gnome applications.)

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
