Bug Description
Sometimes because of running the ubuntuone-client when having the metadata from another user, it fails with a lot of MakeDir and MakeFile issues, like ones attached here.
For this, the SD needs to be fixed to raise a SYS_ROOT_MISMATCH and stop working, as the only way out from this situation involves the applet or another desktop program fixing this somehow.
The current workaround for those affected by this bug is to:
1. Quit the Ubuntu One client
2. Backup your ~/Ubuntu One folder
3. Delete the files from your ~/Ubuntu One folder
4. Delete ~/.local/
5. Start the Ubuntu One client
6. Copy the files and folders from your backed up ~/Ubuntu One/ folder to ~/Ubuntu One

Sorry for not replying earlier, I was busy; I don't see MakeFile errors in the log, and after following the steps mentioned above I end up with pretty much everything (without restoring the backed up files), apart from a .bzr dir that was conflicting and I had removed it from the online interface.
