seems to me that when clean urls is checked whatever formats the url and/or outputs it to xmlrpc.php isn't "cleaning" the url.
A url like
http://www.domain/directory/files?file=image.jpg
should be reformated
http://www.domain/directory/files/image.jpg
before somthing requests the URLs from Drupal(via http://www.domain/path/xmlrpc.php)

am I doing somthing wrong?
