I've played around a bit and i think there are at least two different
issues.

First, it looks like the gvfs backend didn't set file attributes.
The check if (! g_file_info_get_attribute_boolean (parent_info, G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ACCESS_CAN_WRITE)) in file fr-new-archive-dialog.c will fail because of that. It gets (NULL) instead of TRUE.
BUT if you specify /run/user/$user/gvfs/.... as folder, checking the attribute returns TRUE as it should. (This is strange, maybe i did a mistake during testing)

Then i commented out that check and recompiled.
I was now able to create an archive with files from my destop on the share.
BUT it is not working the otherway. If i want to create an archive on my desktop with files from the share it only looks like it is working (no error popping up, progressbar is shown) but the archive isn't created at all. So even if this check is skipped, it still fails if your source files are on a share.

Title:
  File-roller can't create new archives in mounted samba/ftp shares

Status in File Roller:
  New
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have a large directory, almost 50Gb and 45.000 files shared by samba on ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS server.
  When trying to add some files to an archive, file roller reports insufficient permissions.
  It can't add new files to an existing archive either, only the extraction of files is permitted.

  Steps to reproduce:
  - mount the shared directory;
  - select any file, or group of files;
  - right click on the selection and choose "Compress..."
  - click on "Create".

  What happens: File-roller reports insufficient privileges.
  What should happen: a new archive containing the selected files is created in the remote directory.
