Hi,
Sorry for the delay in responding to this. While I'm not an expert on the way FCollada interprets URIs, it looks like the problem you are having is because your <init_from>file://C:\example.jpg</init_from> is not a legal URI. In COLLADA documents all file references must be specified as URIs. A URI is not the same as a windows path!

In particular, a URI can not contain a backslash or spaces. To represent the path you show above as a URI it should be file:///C:/example.jpg

See this link for some more info http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx

You can also run the COLLADA coherency checker from the COLLADA Refinery project (on sourceforge) to make sure all the URIs in your documents are correct.
