[Kde-kiosk] Preventing directory browsing

[Prash]

OK I've found that I can restrict using KDE URL Restrictions. So I add 
[KDE URL Restrictions][$i]
rule_count=5
rule_1=list,,,,file,,,false
rule_2=open,,,,file,,,false
rule_3=list,,,,file,,$HOME,true
rule_4=list,,,,file,,$TMP,false
rule_5=open,,,,file,,$HOME/mydownloads,true

I want to be able to list files in $HOME but to be able to open files
in $HOME/downloads only. The above rules prevent me from listing files
in $HOME. What have I done wrong?
