gvfs mount locations - configuration?

[Da Rock]

Hi guys, just a quickie.

I'm trying to use the new (for me anyway) features available using 
gio/gvfs like remote file servers, but not all programs can access them 
(I'm looking at you, firefox!).

Apparently I'm looking for the mounts under ~/.gvfs but there is nothing 
there. My searches mention gvfs-fuse-daemon, but that doesn't appear to 
be on my system either.

Not sure where to look - gvfsd seems to be operating correctly, 
gvfs-tree shows up the mount; ran a find based on the info looked for 
*.mount to no avail.

Anyone know the answer to this? Config files somewhere?

TIA
