This limitation is removed in XXE v4 (at the expense of a regression
elsewhere).

That's normal, "%C" is a filename. When XXE is deployed using Java Web
Start, all configurations are packed in a single .jar file which is
downloaded and cached somewhere by Java Web Start.

This should work, even when XXE is deployed using Java Web Start:
<command name="ec.getGlobalVariablesFromXxe">
<process showProgress="false">
<copyProcessResources resources="variables/global-variables.ebk"
to="%P%Sglobal-variables.ebk"/>
</process>
</command>
