Cordova fileTransfer for windows error code 1:The system cannot find the file specified

I'm getting an error code :1 when i try to upload a file in window 10 desktop using the file transfer plugin. The message in the console is as follows

0x80070002 - JavaScript runtime error: The system cannot find the file specified.

I know the file exists because i have an img element that displays the file and i previously picked the file from the Photo Library

e.g <img alt="Thumbnail" src="ms-appdata:///local/camera_cordova_temp_return%20(26).jpg">

The stacktrace tell me that the error is cause by the following line in FileTransferProxy.js

Windows.Storage.StorageFile.getFileFromPathAsync(filePath)

I can't figure out why i am getting the error code: 1 0x80070002 - JavaScript runtime error: The system cannot find the file specified.
So i guess its a bug.
