I tried out the script some days ago, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks.
For the email archives I can report that the format for local-url for
relative paths simply is the filename. for example I used to have
local-url = {file://localhost/Users/kdh/Work/papers/Paper.pdf}
which now is
local-url = {Paper.pdf}
Sorry for being slow in reporting this.
