Whether I use ftp or sftp as the network protocol, I get the same result:

gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=ftp://jeffbarish@quartet:/home/jeffbarish/00.ogg
(gst-launch-0.10:4633): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple 
times
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstGioSrc:source: Could not open 
resource for reading.
Additional debug info:
gstgiosrc.c(321): gst_gio_src_get_stream (): 
/GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstGioSrc:source:
Location ftp://quartet:0/home/jeffbarish/00.ogg not mounted: The specified 
location is not mounted
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

I presume that I don't have the servers configured correctly, but I can't 
find any information about how they need to be configured for GStreamer.
