Dave,
Are you sure the drive is mounted?  If not, then filePath() should return an
empty string.  Make to use StorageAccess::setup.  This will mount the drive
and, if successful, you should be able to get a file path.  Also, I've
included kde-hardware-devel on this list.  Posting here will likely get you
more attention from knowledgable people.
