Yeah, it's a bug. KURLRequester returns a URL without the protocol strangely 
enough. I just fixed that. Also, I changed the append collection command to 
match only on the URL field for file catalogs. As it was, if you 
re-imported the same path, another file entry would get created unless 
every single value for every field was identical. So if you'd annotated 
something, or modified something like the owner or permissions or 
something, then you would get duplicate entries.

Now, if the URL is equal, then the merge will skip it. The downside to that 
is if you modified the file, the entry will not get updated with the new 
information. That requires a bit more work, so I'll try to get to it later.
