Apparently there is some confusion over fuse's role in the GIO/GVFS env. GIO doesn't need fuse to mount dirrectories as such - fuse handles that all on its own. GIO uses fuse to create a mountpoint that non GIO/GVFS apps can use to access a remote location like sshfs, webdav, smb, etc. So when you login to a remote location GIO uses dbus to provide access to GVFS aware apps, and it also calls gvfsd-fuse (not gvfs-fuse-daemon - another point of confusion both on the web and in the man pages) to create a mountpoint and allow the other apps to access it over the dbus as well. Clear as mud? :) HTH someone else...
