I'm able to reproduce this error when the nautilus script is installed as root and uninstalled with the use of sudo (and the opposite is true too)

The cause resides in nautilus-script-manager because it creates a link from the user directory to the script installed in a system directory.

I'm confirming this issue.

I don't know if this is related, but I just installed nautilus-script-audio-convert in Ubuntu 8.10, but the script didn't appear in the context menu. According to an instruction I read, installation of the package is all that's needed for the script to become available.

While this bug is a better looking one, more complete and detailed, than bug 319050 they are about the same issue and bug 319050 already has some duplicates. So I'm marking this one as a duplicate of the other. Thanks.
