Bug Description
Having recently installed the Ubuntu One Files app on my HTC Hero, it now automatically uploads pictures to Ubuntu One in a folder called, "Pictures - HTC Hero". Awesome!
But when I then went to my Ubuntu netbook, opened my Home folder, right-clicked the Pictures folder and clicked Ubuntu One --> Synchronize This Folder, it complained at me: "Could not enable folder /home/[me]/Pictures for synchronising to Ubuntu One". Deleting the, "Pictures - HTC Hero" folder, then enabling the, "Pictures" folder worked. Additionally, my HTC Hero automatically created the, "Pictures - HTC Hero" folder successfully, and I didn't experience any problems.

To be precise - Ubuntu One Files creates a __UDF__ titled "Pictures - <phone model>". It's imporant for developers to know - this UDF is located in the users home, next to the regular ~/Pictures folder.
I confirm that while the "Pictures - HTC Hero" UDF exists in users home, you can't enable synchronization of the Pictures folder. Interestingly (I'm running Natty), it tells me nothing when I right click Pictures folder and select Synchronize with Ubuntu One. It basically ignores my click. Synchronize with Ubuntu One is still available, and sync daemon is IDLE.
