Hopefully I've sent this to the right place...

This has happened to me before.  Basically, the cause is that KDE is sending 
XMMS a url instead of a filename.

In other words, the file type mp3 is set to call: "xmms %u" instead of "xmms %f" 
 (Edit the filetype properties to fix it.)

IIRC, the 'find legacy applications' function is the cause of this.  (A few 
other filetypes are also linked in the wrong way, but I forget which.)
