Hi Achim

thanks for your reply.

I am running kubuntu breezy on a multi os local hd. the ~Pictures is on  
the default location on my kubuntu partition. The pictures I had imported  
into the previous version of digikam are on a fat32 partition on the same  
hd.

df ~/Pictures/   gave

/dev/hda4             16492536   4166376  11488372  27% /

ls -ld ~/Pictures/   gave
