The latter is the entire URL, including the scheme and the colon, which is not going to be a real filesystem path. (It will be parseable as a path, but it’ll be a relative path whose first component is a directory named “file:”, which is certainly not what you wanted!)

Yep, discovered this yesterday, although that line was introduced after I changed the code to use file URLs a little more consistently. It all works now, but I'm still not sure why I could have the file exist and still not be deleted, and why it would work on the sim but not the device.
