Yeah. This is because authentication isn't shared between processes, and
eog isn't calling the "set up password dialog" function (you could
request this in gnome bugzilla). It probably works on smb shares where
you don't have to log in.

I'm currently working (when not fixing Fedora bugs) on support for out
of process authentication sharing for gnome 2.6, so eventually we'll get
it.
