obvious to anyone who was acquired the scar tissue but really 
nonintuitive to the average user.  After all, they have an account, they 
have a password, they should just be able to share files.  I did open a 
bug on this sometime ago and it was agreed (I believe) that it should be 
fixed.  Maybe not with dapper but definitely Real Soon Now.
