My advice for dealing with filenames and URIs is to use the Java tools  
to help you:

     File file = new File("c:/foo/locationpath");
     OWLModel owlModel =  
ProtegeOWL.createJenaOWLModelFromURI(file.toURI());

That way you don't have to deal with the particular challenges of  
getting the file: protocol URI exactly right.
