This sounds like a bug needs to be opened, so that the URL is correctly
encoded so that spaces are converted to %20.

David,
It sounds to me like a URI should have been used in the first place. Is
it clear whether an entry in the catalog is supposed to be a file system
path verse a URI. Characters like \ can occur in file system names on
Linux, i.e., they're not path separators in a URI, URL, nor in Linux
file system paths, so treating them with the assumption that they are to
be converted to /, is not entirely correctly. I wonder if specifying a
URI, i., file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/.m2, would have
made it work in the first place? I wonder if this is supposed to denote
a file or a folder? In the latter case,
file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/.m2/ would have been better...
Certainly the entry processing could be more friendly and do obviously
conversions, such as turning space into %20, but turning \ into / is
more dubious...

Correct...however, if going through the user interface of the XML
Catalog in WTP it should store that information as a URI so that it gets
converted. I'm not sure it is actually doing or that the platform
URL/URI items are completely compliant.
I remember a big discussion in the platforms URI handler where some
encoding was not happening correctly and this was causing issues. If
you encode as a URI even under windows the \ get converted to a /
otherwise it isn't a correct URI.
