That parameter needs to be a nodeRef, not some kind of path!

The "alfresco://category/root" is a virtual nodeRef that saves a REST API call to the Repository to get the real nodeRef of the root node. You need to find the actual nodeRef of your required starting point, and the easiest way is via the node browser in the Explorer client.

Login as admin, then browse to: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/node-browser.jsp
Choose stores, then workspace://SpacesStore
Drill down into categoryRoot, then generalclassifiable and then down to your required category and make a node of the nodeRef

Thanks,
Mike
