[Bug 48954] KDE File Sharing doesn't work with 2-character long home directories

[Marcus Trautwig]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdelibs-bin

Because of an incorrect regular expression, sharing files below e.g. /home/mt/ isn't allowed with the error message "invalid mount point".
The bug is in the file /usr/bin/fileshareset in line 121, where the two dots are not escaped.

The following patch will fix this issue:
