I am having the same problem with Alfresco 2.9.0B build 683.

Please Help.

Shew!  Figured it out.

The problem is on the Server side, not in the Virtual Server.  The Virtual Server makes a request to authenticate with the Alfresco Server via RMI.  The Server tries to convert all of the entries in the PATH into URLs (This is Sun's RMI code).  If the entries in the PATH contain spaces, then new URL(entry) throws a MalformedURLException.

I moved my Alfresco folder from C:\Documents and Settings\swick\Desktop to C:\, and the problem disappeared.

Here's the PATH my Server was trying to convert:

file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/classes/ file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/alfresco-catalina-virtual.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/catalina-ant-jmx.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/catalina-cluster.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/catalina-optional.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/catalina-storeconfig.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/catalina.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/commons-modeler-2.0.1.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/hibernate-3.2.1.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/servlets-default.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/servlets-invoker.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/servlets-ssi.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/servlets-webdav.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/spring-2.0.2.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/tomcat-ajp.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/tomcat-apr.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/tomcat-coyote.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/tomcat-http.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/tomcat-jkstatus-ant.jar file:/C:/Documents and Settings/swick/Desktop/WCM POC/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/server/lib/tomcat-util.jar

I also posted this issue and solution to the Alfresco JIRA as http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/ALFCOM-1708

Hope this helps.
