If I remember correctly I never fixed them, because it was decided to
leave the jobs behind until it was possible to use the
KTelepathy::Person library instead Nepomuk::PersonContact...

The idea was to replace it with a HandleFileTransferJob that implements
a Tp handler both for incoming and outgoing file transers (see the
implementation of HandleP2PDBusTubeJob vs. Accept/OfferDBusTubeJob).
As Olli said, Accept/OfferFileTransferJob shouldn't be used...
