Forgive my pedantry if I'm preaching to the choir, but please send emails to 
the list instead of to me directly (unless the mail is of a personal 
nature--that's fine). ;-)  This way, everyone benefits from the exchange, and 
the problem & and its resolution can be archived on the Internet so it can 
help others in the future.  Thanks.

Now then, you are correct that rsync and ssh won't work with system://, as 
that is a KDE KIO-slave that bash has no idea about.  You can use KIO-slaves 
from the command-line via kfmclient, but that nugget won't help us here.

When your media player is mounted you need to find *where* it is mounted.  In 
Linux, the kernel keeps track of well-known mount devices, filesystems, and 
mountpoints in /etc/fstab.  Filesystems that are *actually* mounted will 
appear in /etc/mtab, so try a `cat /etc/mtab`

Note that `mount -l` will do the same thing as cat /etc/mtab, but I like to go 
straight to the text file when I can.

HTH,
