    I have a similar code, which works for me:

	...
	job= kio.KIO.copy (kdecore.KURL (url), self.file, False)
	# 12:04 < mETz> StyXman: you need to return to the mainloop before the job gets started
	# so there is no race condition over these connections
	qt.QObject.connect (job, qt.SIGNAL ("result (KIO::Job *)"), self.readFeed)

    def readFeed (self, job):
        filename= self.file.path ()
        if job.error ()==0:
	    ...

    see mETz' comment: you need to return to the main loop. only the the
jobs get started. does this help?
