Created attachment 29362 [details] deploy output log
Upon a deeper investigation this turns out to be a limitation of the WebSphere deployment engine. The resulting error code is ADMA0043E. What actually happens is that the target server attempts to access the application archive using its local path on the client machine. The WebSphere's native tools also suffer from this misbehavior.
It is okay to remove this functionality.
