Thanks very much for the information.  I found the file system mounted in
the ~/.gvfs/ directory, and I made a symlink to it.  It worked like a charm.

As far as why I wanted a symlink....  I'm running a Java app under JBoss,
and have been having problems with it.  One of my co-workers suggested
having JBoss point to a symlink for the remote file structure it needs to
access.  (Possibly because of the embedded spaces in the name of the file
structure name mounted in ~/.gvfs ??)

At any rate, the app is running fine now, and I now know how to find the
place where Gnome is actually mounting the volume.  Thank again for your
help and comments.
