    howto run bash script from new media detected dialog

    This seems like it should be so simple, i think i'm just missing some command.
    When i plug my ipod in, i would like the dialog that shows up to list a choice where one is to run a script i wrote (it syncs my google calendar to my ipod). So i go in Kcontrol and go to storage media->notifications, and add a new notification where the command is "/home/jet/myscript.sh" where my script resides. now if I hit f2 (run command dialog in kubuntu) and type this command exactly then the script runs fine and all is good, but when i choose the option and it runs from the media load menu, I get
    "Error - KIOExec
    /media/ipod is a folder, but a file was expected"
    and just have to hit ok.

    This is so strange to me, why doesn't the script run just like when i double click it or when i run it in the terminal, or when i run it from the kde command dialog?! arg

    so, i tried adding the following before the command:
    kdesu /hoem/jet/scriptname.sh
    bash /home/jet/scriptname.sh
    kdesu -u jet scriptname.sh
    kdesu -u jet scriptname.sh

    same error all the time.

    anyway, if somebody can help that would be great!
    thanks,
    jet
