Cordova/Phonegap FileTransfer.upload() error code = 1 (FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERR)

Question

What's really confusing is when I capture the image with the phone camera, I use FileTransfer.moveTo and it sends the image to a specified folder on my SD card as desired. I also keep a list of image objects in localStorage that looks something like this:

[
Object
ean: "42208556"
image: "file:///storage/sdcard0/PhotoscanPhotos/d51b5b77-aab1-9947-096d-b0a92dfb87eafoto.jpg"
timestamp: 1396441761000
__proto__: Object
etc etc

As part of my app, i use the same image[i].image as src attribute to dynamically add images to a list and it works fine. However, using the same parameter for FileTransfer.upload gives me the above error.

My function is a near replica of the API docs (Cordova 3.1). Code is as follows:

function uploadImagesAsJpegs(imageObject) {
    var options = new FileUploadOptions();
    options.fileKey = "file";
    options.fileName=imageObject.image.substr(imageObject.image.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
    //alert(options.fileName);//debugging ............we're happy with this
    options.mimeType="image/jpeg";
    options.chunkedMode = true;

    var serverUrl = http://172.17.7.112/mylocalserver;


    var params = {};
    params.value1 = ean;
    params.value2 = imageObject.timestamp;

    options.params = params;

    var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();

    //alert(encodeURI(serverURL));//debugging  ............we're happy with this
    //alert("image to upload is: " + imageObject.image);//debugging............we're happy with this
    fileTransfer.upload(imageObject.image, encodeURI(serverURL), onUploadSuccess, onUploadFail, options);
}

I believe setting options.chunkedMode = false; is solving most issues during file upload, maybe give it a try.
