I would guess that /home/pqs/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail has some 
directory 'foo' without any file named '.foo.index'. Can you confirm ?

The location for the emails is generally hardcoded into kmail but some 
distributions change it. So, beagle tries all possible locations. The 
guessing game mostly works but there could be cases where kmail works but 
beagle thinks the folder is incorrect.
The guessing logic was changed in 0.2.16, so there is a chance that 0.2.16 
will work for you.
