And note that you can batch rename fields now using BibDesk's Database Find and 
Replace.

So to summarize, here's what you can do:

1. Use Database Find and Replace to batch regex-replace .*:(.*):.* -> $1 in File
2. Use Database Find and Replace to batch rename File -> Local-Url
3. Run Convert Files and URL Fields

Instead of 2. you can also declare Field as a local file field in the Default 
Fields preferences.

Also, make sure that any relative paths are really relative to the .bib file 
(don't know what JabRef's convention is).
