OK, that is surprising. Bug, maybe? I really don't know, and the man
page is exceptionally unhelpful. It doesn't seem possible to interact
with gvfs file systems in a sane way, you are instructed to use
gvfs-copy, gvfs-rm etc, so you might be out of luck here. Try to file a
bug against gvfs-bin and see what the developers have to say. Either
things do not work as expected, or the man page is at best misleading.
