Hmm...
If e->m_clients.count() == 1 in that line, the file was watched twice before, 
or the wrong KDirWatch object has requested file removal, i.e. not the one 
which added it for watching.
So the code at this point seems to be correct (Note that m_entries is always 
empty for files; for directories, it contains entries of files/dirs being 
watched in this directory).

The question is, why it is being watched twice.
It would be interesting to see which client is still watching the file by 
calling KDirWatch::statistics(). Can you try to reproduce the bug and give the 
output of statistics() ?

Very good (the reproducability). I tried but wasn't able to trigger this.
