^^^^^^
this looks like your original file names/paths contained the ~ character,
which has been interpreted as a non-breaking space for HTML.
That's clearly not correct for this context.

Use of special characters in filenames will always cause problems
in TeX, especially when the filename is to be passed as an argument
to other macros -- i.e. pretty much always.
TeX needs to be told *before* reading the filename, to *not* treat
the special characters as it would do during normal text input.
The url package has a command \urldef which helps to do this.
Hope this helps,
