Seems to be an awful kfm bug.
I keep receiving reports about it (I'm the maintainer) but I still
can't figure out where this comes from, nor reproduce (no VFAT partition -
and a lot of people have one and don't have the problem anyway).

Do you have conv=auto or conv=text in /etc/fstab ?
Is there anything logged in /var/log/messages when this happens ?
It seems this is related to .directory files. Do you have one in /mnt/* ?
Is it a normal one ? An empty one ? A directory (!) ?

If somebody could also run kfm in gdb and give me a backtrace that would
be great.
