java library path not working using the reference knime://knime.mountpoint under batch mode

We just recently migrated from 4.xx to 5.4, and ran into the issue in several Java Snippets running in batch mode. We have several Java Snippets with additonal libraries that are referenced with the format knime://knime.mountpoint/path/xxx.java. This works fine when running under the UI/GUI mode. However when this is being run under batch mode, Knime will not recongnize the path anymore. It has to be changed back to “c:\knime-workspace.…” using the standard directory format. We have a lot of workflows that have to be modified as a result. This is definitely a bug and are there any fixes available?
