Under Oneiric I had a similar problem where the "open containing folder"
would start up the software center. The solution I found was to edit the
following file:

    ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

in my case there was a line in the [Added Associations] section for
inode/directory which pointed to software center:

   inode/directory=<something>

after deleting this line and saving the file and trying "open containing
folder" it worked correctly in nautilus. Looking again at the above file
I noted in the section [Default Associations] the line:

   inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

Hope this helps find a work around for you.
