Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

* Create folder /home/user/workspace_suffix
* Create folder /home/user/workspace
* Select folder /home/user/workspace_suffix and choose 'Synchronize on Ubuntu One'
* Wait until folder is synced properly
==> Everything working so far
* Select folder /home/user/workspace and choose 'Synchronize on Ubuntu One'
==> Nothing happens, sometimes Nautilus window crashes
* On the command line, try: u1sdtool --create-folder=/home/user/workspace
==> FolderCreateError: UDFs can not be nested (path=/home/user/workspace)

Expected Behaviour: /home/user/workspace is synced on Ubuntu One as well.

My guess is that the ubuntuone-client checks if the path of the folder to sync contains the path of an already synced folder. If this is the case, the solution would be to simply check if it contains an already synced folder's path WITH a slash appended to it.

I can confirm this behaviour in Maverick. After creating the folder workfolder_suffix I was unable to sync any folder named workfolder, work, etc.

I can confirm this. In addition, if I have "/home/user/workspace-suffix" (i.e. dash instead of underscore) it prohibits syncing "/home/user/workspace" as well.

It looks like underscores and dashes are considered file path separators.

Just as a (perhaps common?) example of this: The Ubuntu One Files android app created and synced:

~/Pictures - HTC Desire

But now when I go to add the ~/Pictures folder from my computer, I see "This folder cannot be synchronized because it contains one or more folders that are already synchronized", even though there is nothing synchronised within the folder (as also shown via the web UI). After checking on irc, rye pointed me here.
