Bug Description

Steps to reproduce the bug:
-) I've mounted a samba share with Nautilus. I needed to provide login and password to be able to access it.
-) I could access it with eog (Eye of Gnome) to view pictures.
-) But I needed to rotate an image and when I tried to save it, I got an error:

Could not save image 'filename'.
You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file.

This is strange, because I can rename filenames, copy new files, delete files,... from within Nautilus.

Workaround: open the same image with Gimp, rotate and overwrite 'filename' and this works. That's why I believe the bug is in eog.

Extra information:
-) the samba share comes from an OpenMediaVault system, which uses "2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze11" as samba server.
-) my 14.04 system is up-to-date.
-) I also tried it on an Ubuntu 13.10, but I had the same problem :-(.

Another workaround: rotate with "Shotwell Viewer" also works.
