The problem lies in Nautilus GVFS integration.
When you open a file from Nautilus with VLC, it fails with "Unable to
open 'smb://foo/bar/file'", so it looks like Nautilus is hinting VLC to
use the SMB protocol instead just giving the GVFS mount point.
However, using VLC -> Open File -> choose the SMB mount from the left
panel -> coose file, the file is correctly opened. VLC doesn't attempt
to use smb:// in this case, just uses the GVFS mount point ~/.gvfs/bar
on foo/file
