Bug 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.

Have since discovered that if browsing files using the GUI it uses such protocols as system:/ and media:/ the various apps recognize these as remote address and causes some problems. Rewriting the address bar from something like media:/sda1/f.jpg to /media/sda1/f.jpg makes it work.
