This was the issue. Thanks Thierry.

I don't intend to make any excuses for my inability to read JavaDoc correctly,
but this does beg a question. Should Directory and FileRepresentation 
constructors be consistent since they are dealing with similar things. 
Should they both take a URI or should they both take a File/path? 

BTW, I was getting exceptions occassionally but they were getting thrown
later in the pipeline when getRepresentation was being called. I was 
confused by that, and wrote it off as a result of canceling the download.
I was further confused by caching which I hadn't accounted for. Basically, 
I was just confused :-)

But the lesson here for me is to use the FileRepresentation 
constructor that accepts a File
because File construction will fail fast and in the application code.
