I was just trying that now (the trailing quote was my typo but was also a red herring).
Yes, the value must be a URL and I've verified that using file:/c:/... works. I'm trying to put together a code patch that does this automatically when a normal filename is specified because this is pretty bad Simon Says behavior. It doesn't help that the Javadoc for the Apache CatalogManager isn't itself explicit that the catalog files property is in fact URLs, not OS-specific file paths.
