Where's the mount?
Nautilus makes it very easy to mount file servers. When you select "Connect to Server..." and enter the mount information, the mount appears in the UI as a mounted disk.
I would like to be able to use rsync to copy files to and from the mount. The problem is that I don't know where the actual mountpoint is.
If anyone knows where Nautilus mounts servers, please let me know.

copy files with extension
I was looking for a command to copy all of the files with a given extension from one directory to another. I know I could pipe the output of find to xargs where cp would be run, but you have to take special care to escape the paths.
Here is a way to do the same thing with rsync:
rsync -azvE -r -m --include "*/" --include "*.mp3" --exclude "*" --verbose --progress /source/path/ /destination/path/
