Yep. This can be the problem.

This problem can also be sorted by looking at your $HOME/.bash_profile
file (if bash is your shell), and by modifying the PATH variable to see
the newer installed path first and then the older path. 
Something like:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:....etc
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Where the newer version of nautilus is installed.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Anand
