gvfs-fuse doesn't work (completely) with the sftp interface

[bj0]

There is a bug in gvfs fuse that causes some file operations to fail.

Some applications appear to work, like vi and gedit, but some file, like OpenOffice?.

You can see that this bug is present by creating a simple text file: file1, then:

> cat file1 > file2
> cat file2 >> file1
cat: write error: Operation not supported

This bug is present when I use gvfs to connect to an openssh-server also.
