;; process-connection-type is essential or nothing works. What it does? No idea.
(defun eshell/open (&rest args)
  ;; need a delay in here or it doesn't work. Why? No idea!
  (let ((process-connection-type nil))
    (setq proc (start-process "eshell-open"
                              phil-eshell-buffer
                              shell-file-name shell-command-switch
                              (format "gvfs-open %s" 
                                      (mapconcat 'identity args " ")))))
  (set-process-sentinel proc 'phil-open-sentinel)
  (set-process-filter proc 'comint-output-filter))

(defun phil-open-sentinel (&rest args)
  )


And this works perfectly. So, yes, process-connection-type seems to be
the trick. Thanks very much for the suggestion.
