removing exo-utils solved the problem. I had not just intstalled the package though. It had been there for years and so it must be the Gnome3 issue.
Thanks for the tips.

I had similar problems, I guess you are running some instance of
gnome3. It is a PITA but the problem at the end is that
        gvfs-open
does not work. That again comes from the fact that it seems that
no default mime type is set. And not even the maintainer could answer
me what I have to do .... Furtunately my former laptop died on me
and now with the new one it is working. If you are interested, see

I don't know that this is the problem, but we've seen situations in the past 
where Nautilus' mime type associations were a mess and needed to be reset. 
?Read this for more information and possible workarounds:
