Thanks for reporting this problem! I was able to replicate this bug in
Thunar 1.6.10, as well as in Nautilus 3.14.2, but PCManFM does not have
this problem, as said in the report.

Title:
  Doubleclicking some.desktop file returns wrong %k variable

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in thunar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have the following backup.desktop file on my removable HDD

  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Application
  Name=Start Backup
  Exec=bash -c '%k/.backup.sh;$SHELL'
  OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;MATE;LXDE;
  Icon=lxterminal
  Terminal=true
  X-KeepTerminal=true
  StartupNotify=true

  as it says here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-
  spec/latest/ar01s06.html

  %k      The location of the desktop file as either a URI (if for
  example gotten from the vfolder system) or a local filename or empty
  if no location is known.

  doubleclicking it in PcmanFM acts as its expected - it opens
  lxterminal and runs .backup.sh

  while the same in Thunar returns:
  bash: /media/z/ZVs_WHITE/StartBackup.desktop/.backup.sh: Not a directory

  error happens in %k as it should return just path to some.desktop file
  instead it returns path+some.desktop in Thunar.
