I am trying to run a phonegap app in a new BlackBerry 10 Device (Z10) and I'm running into an issue. Basically, I take a photo and I want to upload it to my server with a FileTransfer, but the FileTransfer fails with a FileTransferError.FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERR.
I then tried using the window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI method, and I now get a FileError.NOT_FOUND_ERR. I am assuming these two errors are related.
The fileURI I am passing to both of these is the fileURI that I get back from the navigator.camera.getPicture success callback and looks something like:
file:///accounts/1000/shared/camera/IMG_00000037.jpg
I've taken the example blackberry app from the phonegap 2.5.0 download and modified the index.html slightly to reproduce the issue, which I will include below:

Whenever I run the app and try to take a photo, I get:
Unable to resolve local file system URI...
Why can't either the FileTransfer or the window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI find the file that is returned from navigator.camera.getPicture? I have the standard config.xml from the phonegap example with all of the required features and permissions (at least as far as I know)
Below is my config.xml:

Steps to reproduce my issue:
You need to do both blackberry.io.sandbox = false; and drop the file:// protocol, at least with my experience accessing files from the filesystem. Also, you should not be accessing the shared path directly. Use the blackberry.io.sharedFolder property as shown in the example on this page: https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/blackberry.io.html
Your file system path should be blackberry.io.sharedFolder + 'camera/IMG_00000037.jpg'
The secure sandbox design of BB10 means that each application has it's own file path to the shared filesystem area.
