  How to reproduce:
  Save any odb file in a fileserver in your network.
  Open it to see it works ok.
  Now open any libreoffice file. Go to Tools-> Options
  Select on the left LibreOffice Base -> Databases
  Click on create.
  Click on search.
  Select the odb file the previously  checked as working.
  Give a name and click OK
  Message appears that says:
  file smb://"servername"/"filename" does not exist in local file system 

  (messages are my translations from greek since I use greek  in my
  computer)
