This may be a KUrl/QUrl  path() versus toLocalFile() problem. On many 
places in  the KDE code there is path() used to return the local file 
path from a file or local url.where toLocalFile() should be used 
instead. path() and toLocalFile() return on unix the same path on 
windows not

path() \c:\xxxx

toLocalFile()  c:\xxxx
