And it's the case (as my user) :
$ ll .gvfs/
total 4
drwx------. 1 mathieu mathieu 4096 2009-10-29 22:38 sftp for bochecha
on fedorapeople.org

Of course, as root :
# ll /home/mathieu/.gvfs
ls: cannot access /home/mathieu/.gvfs: Permission denied

This is expected. See this thread :

Towards the end, someone called Fred explains it pretty well.
