[Bug 39950] local files are treated as remote files

[Sniffass]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
certain applications in certain situations are incapable of using the files on USB devices. I have 
an 80gb USB hard drive and store large files such as cd images and movies on it. If I tell K3b to burn an image or use any of the files on the drive it  tells me "You can only select local files". This also happens when I ask Konqueror to read a bookmarks file held on the 
drive, or perform other similar operations.

I KNOW that it isn't some permission problem since via Konqueror I can perform 
all operations including writing and deleting on the disc.
