Manual fix done.

Problem--
I could not open my documents bookmark with nautilus instead of "smplayer".
1. Click on a directory (interestingly except home folder) in bookmarks menu.
2. Opens a smplayer (totem/mplayer for some users) and plays the first media file inside the directory (such as My Documents or Musics)

History--
I had upgraded dist to 9.04 and had installed "smplayer". I recall answering "would like to open video files automatically within smplayer?" alike question, as yes. Anyway, I have checked, my system mimeinfo.cache

~$ grep direc /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
x-directory/gnome-default-handler=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

But I have found the issue inside the local mime file
~$ grep dire /home/dincer/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
inode/directory=smplayer.desktop;

Fix--
Anyway, I have removed "inode/directory=smplayer.desktop" from the ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file and now I am happy to open the bookmarks folders within nautilus.
