Well, machine A can't magically access paths on machine B without some
sort of network protocol - NFS, CIFS/SMB, WebDAV, whatever - and in this
case the network protocol seems to be WebDAV. How did you make these
files available?

Perhaps it's gnome-user-share at the "server" end?

It's a perfectly valid filesystem path, but not a valid URI path.
Whatever is taking the filesystem and turning it into DAV should do the
%-encoding.
