fuse

I have a Debian testing box with Xfce (no Gnome, no Nautilus). It has all gvfs-related stuff installed, including all backends and fuse interface. But any attempts to gvfs-mount anything (like sftp://... or smb://...) fail with error opening file: Operation not supported, and gigolo shows only 'unix device (file)' in the list of supported protocols.

My ~/.gvfs has rwx permissions, and I'm a member of fuse group; other fuse-related stuff works for me.

What do I do? Where to look?
