Here with Ubuntu-Gnome 14.10, similar problem:
- Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V do not work
- Cut, Copy and Paste menu items are not greyed out, but they do nothing
- Dragging files works ok

This is trying to move or copy files in different directories of the
same, local partition.

Title:
  Nautilus cut, copy, paste, move and rename options are greyed out and
  stop working

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The problem appears while using the mouse trying to copy or cut /
  paste links, folders or files from one location to another. After the
  mouse-right-click drop-down menu selection of 'copy' or 'cut' the
  second stage - right-click 'paste' (to the desired location) - is
  greyed out and the selected files won't move/copy. Key combinations
  CTRL-X, CTRL-C, CTRL-V don't work either.

  However dragging and dropping with the mouse allways works perfectly.
  Also using SHIFT + drag with the mouse works correctly.

  The files are on the local network on a nfs v3-server (Ubuntu 10.04).
  Permissions are correct and chmod is 755 (as it has always been). This
  problem came with the Ubuntu 11.10 workstation and has never occurred
  before. The workstation was upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 by CD,
  formatting / (ext4) and leaving Home unformatted (ext4). I am using
  Unity-2D.
