Its gnome vfs magic. There are few ways to get rid of it other than running a better desktop. It breaks rsync as well horribly because its a misimplemented mess that doesn't provide proper behaviour. The theory is sound but the implementation (which is not entirely Gnome's fault here) misbehaves horribly. If you are using rsync then simply excluding ".gvfs" should do the trick nicely.
