Ok, so it's a Joyride issue and the String to ByteArray change will affect a few other places as well I guess...
Well I fixed the most obvious breakage in 2160 (which was the whole point of that release).
IMHO it's wrong that the datastore converts all strings to byte arrays, but the Sugar developers disagree and point to a brand new datastore that's going to be implemented at some point in the future anyway.
I don't have my bug login at the moment so the bug report have to wait...
Once you get it you might file a report against Sugar, too.
I'm building a JournalMorph and are slowly learning the dbus and datastore quirks.
Yay :)
It's actually pretty simple. At least it's not completely undocumented anymore - please pipe up if you find anything missing.
One question: Why can't I open the directories with trailing dot, like .sugar, in FileList ?
Because of Rainbow:

It's not the dot but the permissions do not allow access for other users than olpc. E.g. you can enter ~olpc/.fontconfig just fine. Use "ls -la" in the Terminal to find out.
