I'm experiencing a similar problem.

I did a clean install of 8.04 (32 bit, alternate installer) without overwriting my /home. After the install, I created a user and changed ownership of the old /home/thomas, but when I was about to remove parts of my settings files i encountered permission denied for .gvfs

root@anansi:/home/thomas# whoami
root
root@anansi:/home/thomas# ls .gvfs
ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied

"ls -la ~thomas" shows the following on the row for the .gvfs directory
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
