I can confirm this bug on all of my Ubuntus.: 2 9.04s and one 8.04. There is a 
slight difference in the error message
"Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file" on 
9.04 and 
"Could not open location" on 8.04
If totem is launched from the terminal I get a similar to the reporter's 
message.

A couple more things to mention:
1) It appears to be a recent problem, since I just recently noted this totem 
plugin and started advertising it to my friends when installing Ubuntu on their 
computers.
2) Totem finds videos in the search window with the right urls and shows their 
previews  
3) urls are correctly fetched, since one can copy them (from the search window) 
and use the command
mplayer "copied_url_in_quotes"

I think that during some update (totems or related) urls are not handled
correctly anymore (like it wont work without quotes with mplayer )
