I had the same problem (double folder entries in File Manager for 'Documents', 'Camera', 'Audio Clips', 'Images' and 'Video Clips').
I found the Bug (referred to in the thread b666m links to) and answer #42 too, but when I checked using terminal I didn't have 32+ entries (folders + files), but only 27! (I checked the number of files using 'ls -1a /home/user/MyDocs | wc -l' in xterm).
I did however notice that I had some strange "._blablabla" files in the MyDocs folder, and by removing them, my filemanager problem was solved!
I removed them using xterm with the following command:
Code:
rm -r /home/user/MyDocs/._*
I hope it helps!
