I actually know this answer because I wrote the same thing for QtDBus:

string lists are handled by placing the arguments between ( and ).

Note that you may need to escape them with quotations, apostrophes or 
backslashes if your shell thinks ( is special.

In time: qdbus handles only QVariantList and QStringList. There's no plan 
to add more list types to the tool. Use a scripting language if you 
require more.
