Ok, I have a bit more info. I was able to reproduce it with a tool that I can easily modify.

Here is some info from this new case:

log:

[2011-12-14 21:53:15.373241] W [fuse-bridge.c:1348:fuse_rename_cbk] 0-glusterfs-fuse: 265: /i130/whoosh_index/_MAIN_1.toc.1323899595.36 -> /i130/whoosh_index/_MAIN_1.toc => -1 (Permission denied)

% sudo ls -l /mnt/i130/whoosh_index/_MAIN_1.toc.1323899595.36
-rw-r----- 1 1630 nogroup 1522 2011-12-14 21:52 /mnt/i130/whoosh_index/_MAIN_1.toc.1323899595.36

% sudo ls -l /mnt/i130/
drwxr-x--- 2 1630 nogroup  8192 2011-12-14 21:52 whoosh_index

% sudo ls -l /mnt | grep i130
drwxr-x--x 4      1630 anduin 8192 2011-12-14 21:52 i130

I've confirmed the user and group of the process are 1630 and nogroup.
