You're doing it wrong... ;-)
The "-initFileURLWithPath:" and "+fileURLWithPath:" methods takes a string
containing a path (would have been "/Users/..." in your example above), not the
file-URL representation of that path ("file:/localhost/Users/..." in your
example above).
If you already have a string that contains a RFC 2396 compliant representation
of a URL, you should be using the "init with string" style initializers to
create the URL.

The clue to this behavior can be found in the documentation for CFURL:
"If filePath is not absolute, the resulting URL will be considered relative to
the current working directory (evaluated when this function is being invoked)."
Please file a bug report if you think that the documentation should be improved:
