Hmm... does VLC support "sftp://"; protocol? :-?

I ask because in lenny I can't even open a PDF on my samba networked 
share using Nautilus (smb://). It says: "operation not permitted".

But I suppose you can open the files fine when they are located in your 
local hard disk, right?

So follow their wise advice and "check for the log for details" :-)

Also, try opening those remote files using VLC "File → open" dialog menu.
