gvfs: Switch on POSIX extensions for samba

Description
The gvfs smb module appears to be unable to cope with certain filenames on the server side, and they appear as "scrambled" versions.
e.g "Heroes 3x01 - (Volume Three: Villains) The Second Coming.avi" becomes "H0B9IZ~J.AVI"
I could previously reproduce this with normal samba mounting ("mount -t cifs", etc), but then I turned on the "unix extensions" option, and the problem went away with normal samba, but not with gvfs. I'm not quite sure what the pattern is with the names that get scrambled (there are various other cases), but all the resulting names are of the form "<6 upper case letters>
~<1 upper case letter>
.<Extension in upper case>
" like DOS trying to cope with Windows extended path names? Various long (bigger than DOS "8.3" form) are fine, but really long ones appear to get screwed up.
Any ideas? This is with Debian Linux boxes at both ends, Samba 3.2.4 on the server and gvfs 1.0.2 on the client side.
Version: 1.0.x
