removable devices

[Gabriel Dragffy]

I still have the same problem after all these months, certain applications in 
certain situations are incapable of using the files on my 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. Advice much 
appreciated!
