This can probably be remedied with a little Elisp. There's a user option
`ebib-file-name-mod-function`, which is called to convert the contents of the
`file` field into a file name that can be passed to a pdf viewer (and vice
versa).

An example is in this Github issue:

If your Elisp fu isn't too strong, I should be able to help.
