Same problem for me and the problem also only occurred after the same
upgrade (14.10 > 15.04). Peter's workaround also works for me.

  gvfsd-fuse does not create mount point

Bug description:
  gvfsd should not start twice...

  I have just upgraded to 15.4 and found that gvfsd-fuse does not seem
  to be creating the mount points for gvfs-mount.  I have found a work
  round for this problem that seem to indicate that at startup there is
  a problem with gvfsd.. Here is some more information.

  I have a mounted file system that appear in nautilus when I log into the system.
  $ cat .config/autostart/gvfs-mount.desktop

  But there is no mount point

  Notice that there are two /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd... very odd because if I try to start two from the command line I get
  $ /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd
  Failed to acquire daemon name, perhaps the VFS daemon is already running?

  Anyway my work round for this issue is to unmount my smb drive, kill off gvfs and restart
  $ sudo killall -9 gvfsd

  Now there is only one gvfsd so the mount works
  $ gvfs-mount smb://homevista/Q
  Password required for share q on homevista
  Domain [PASCOM]: 
  Password: 

  $ ls -als /run/user/1000/gvfs
  total 12
   0 dr-x------  3 pas pas     0 May  2 21:01 .
   0 drwx------ 10 pas pas   280 May  2 20:39 ..
  12 drwx------  1 pas pas 12288 Apr 16 21:00 smb-share:server=homevista,share=q

  My conclusion is that somehow gvfsd gets started twice at login...
  this should not be possible but appear to occur.  In earlier version
  of Ubuntu like 14.10 this did not happen.  It has only started
  happening when I upgraded to 15.4
