in F17, the mount point has changed.
It no longer mounts things in ~/.gvfs
Now it mounts them in /run/user/<username>/gvfs
Edit:
for example, here is one mounted on my system here (user name is Me)
Code:
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /run/user/Me/gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
[Me@tower20 ~]$ cd /run/user/Me/gvfs
[Me@tower20 gvfs]$ ls -al
total 0
