You are making reference in your entity declaration to an unparsed 
entity, which in fact makes sense since the entity is a TIFF file:

The function unparsed-entity-uri() will give you:

  /absolute/path/to/28245.tif

.... based on the base uri of the declaration of the entity.

See the following for details:

I hope this helps.
