Title:
  gamin doesn't notice local file creation on NFS4

Status in GVFS:
  Fix Released
Status in gamin package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gamin

  Gamin Version: 0.1.9-2ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 8.04) seems to not notice file
  creation events on an NFS4 share. It *does* recognize local file
  creation under NFS version 3.

  First, we'll mount with NFSv3:
  machine# mount -t nfs server:/home /mnt/
  machine$ gvfs-monitor-dir /mnt/valentyn/

  [ in other terminal: ]machine$ touch /mnt/valentyn/demofile

  Directory Monitor Event:
  Child = /mnt/valentyn/demofile
  Event = CREATED
  Directory Monitor Event:
  Child = /mnt/valentyn/demofile
  Event = ATTRIB CHANGED
  Directory Monitor Event:
  Child = /mnt/valentyn/demofile
  Event = CHANGES_DONE_HINT

  
  Now, we'll try this again with nfsv4:
  machine# mount -t nfs4 server:/home /mnt/
  machine$ gvfs-monitor-dir /mnt/valentyn/

  [ in other terminal: ]machine$ touch /mnt/valentyn/demofile

  Directory Monitor Event:
  Child = /mnt/valentyn/demofile
  Event = ATTRIB CHANGED
  Directory Monitor Event:
  Child = /mnt/valentyn/demofile
  Event = CHANGES_DONE_HINT

  As you see, the ATTRIB CHANGED and CHANGES_DONE_HINT events show up,
  but the CREATED event is missing.

  This only goes for files, if you create a directory, it will show up
  immediately (as expected).
