In order for BibDesk to interpret a field called "file" as a file field, you'll
have to tell BibDesk that it is a file field in the Default Field preferences
(as for the Local-Url field).
Apart from that, in this case this will still fail because the value of the
field does not make too much sense. It seems to be some kind of weird
combination of POSIX and MAC paths, making it neither. (A POSIX path uses "/",
while a MAC path uses ":" as a path separator.)
