Comment 30 for bug 227808

Sorry to make extra comments, but I'll just add that after installing sshfs (fuse was already installed), then mounting the remote server by creating /mnt/servername, and using 'sshfs user@servername:/path/ /mnt/servername/ -p port', I was able to use gvfs to navigate to /mnt/servername and open, edit and save the file using GVim without problems. This is both a workaround, and perhaps useful in narrowing down the problem.
