Yup, same thing I ran into today. Here's how I fixed it.

Run the following command. My email client wraps, but it should be a single 
line. Note that there is a space following the "-i".

for j in /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc; do sudo sed -i 
's_Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/_Sound=_g' $j; done

That will remove the extraneous "file:///" stuff. Check the results with the 
same command I mentioned earlier:

grep Sound /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc

If you still see "file:///" in any of the lines, run the "for" command again, 
and check the results with the "grep" command. Lather/rinse/repeat until there 
are no more lines with "file:///".

Ultimately what you'll end up with are lines that show "Sound=filename" with no 
path. Now to get everything fixed with the correct path, run the original 
script I posted on KFN.
