The cause of the problem has been found! Nautilus does not display _any_
files if a directory entry is not mounted, like the output from 
gvfs-ls -l above. Removing the unmounted directory (or mounting) makes
nautilus list all files properly! Remains to find where to make the
modifications, the unmounted entry should be shown/listed too!!
