[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello, 

I perform the following: 

ubuntu <at> ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/.gvfs/account on stockholm/Documents/03 professional/structured_documentation$ ls -l doc/filters_for_this_document 
-rwx------ 1 ubuntu ubuntu 98 2012-02-06 14:47 doc/filters_for_this_document 
ubuntu <at> ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/.gvfs/account on stockholm/Documents/03 professional/structured_documentation$ whoami 
ubuntu 
ubuntu <at> ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/.gvfs/account on stockholm/Documents/03 professional/structured_documentation$ chmod +x doc/filters_for_this_document 
chmod: changing permissions of `doc/filters_for_this_document': Operation not supported 
ubuntu <at> ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/.gvfs/account on stockholm/Documents/03 professional/structured_documentation$ chmod --version 
chmod (GNU coreutils) 8.5 


On another machine I have version 6.10, and there I don't get 
the error "Operation not supported". 

What is wrong here? 

Best regards, 

Francky Leyn
