Hmm, that looks a bit fishy. Actually I had only tried it with an 
existing file on a remote machine. I have no idea what should happen if 
I try to open a directory. As there is no root login allowed on my 
machines, I tried running

kate fish://nils@someremotehost.lan/home/nils/bin

which produces a similar error message (the directory ~/bin does exist 
on that machine), And that test was done with Kubuntu 14.04 on both 
machines. Opening an existing file worked though, like it worked on the 
Xubuntu 15.04 machine where I added the packages mentioned above.

Maybe you could try to open an existing file?
