You have to use your part's instance, this way for "instance" (no pun intended) :

instance()->dirs()->findResource( type, filename )
or
locate( type, filename, instance() );

appdata may be an additional problem though (it's related to
the application)... Better use locate( "data", mypart+'/'+.... )
where mypart is the instance name.
(see kdelibs/kparts/tests/example.cpp for instance)

Basically, use the part's instance as much as possible, for everything
relating to the part (directories, config files, resources etc.)
