I have no idea why this is considered a bug or is reported against kio_smb. Moving it to Dolphin so that Frank or one of the Dolphin developers could properly respond or close the bug report.
I don't know either. If the issue is still there in KDE 4.11 or later, please reopen and reassign to kdelibs (which is where the error message comes from). Thanks!
Closing now, if you still experience this problem please follow the steps mentioned in comment 3.
