That is still not the right syntax

See the following thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/ovirt-devel/2008-December/msg00247.html

This thread occurred a few days after the one I mentioned in my previous 
mail and in this discussion we clarify that specification of a url without 
a leading protocol is ambiguous and should not be allowed.

A message in that thread points out:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/AllAboutImages

Which outlines the two accepted formats for specifying images.

Glad you got it working though :)  But try recreating the image record 
using the nfs:// format and see if that works too.
