Doesn't gnomevfs support cifs? I haven't tried though, honestly.
But in any case, my opinion on most network file systems is they'd be
better replaced by rsync+cron possibly +inotify trigger.
okay I just threw up a little in my mouth reading this.
That might work for a single user, but what about a family of users
that want to share photos? If anything I would suggest a webdav
enabled svn repo than rsync+cron. Drag and drop data, instant
revision control. With some ldap and apache magic you can get user
privileges refined as well.
