When Explorer copies the address as text, the slashes will be backslashes. For any environment other than the Windows file system, these need to be changed to forward slashes; almost certainly that is how they will need to be entered in the MinimWatch properties window.

Apologies if you had already done this, but it does continue to catch people out.

The OP didn't say whether he was using MinimServer or MinimWatch. I had assumed MinimServer, but perhaps you are correct in thinking it was MinimWatch. If it was MinimWatch, the contentDir value needs to be translated to the local path format of the Linux machine running MinimServer, as you have explained.
