When obnam backs up from .gvfs or another filesystem that does not
support the llistxattr system call it crashes with this traceback:

    >   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/obnamlib/metadata.py", line 130, in get_xattrs_as_blob
    >     names = fs.llistxattr(filename)
    >   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/obnamlib/vfs_local.py", line 165, in llistxattr
    >     raise OSError((ret, os.strerror(ret), filename))
    > OSError: (95, 'Operation not supported', '/home/ben/.gvfs')

Obnam should report the error, but continue the backup.
