    Did anything about the media change, since the last time you used it in PPro? 

    Looks like the media is within your /Users directory; did you ever import that same media into your project, from within a different directory?

    Also, can't see it in the "Locate Media"  screenshot, but is the "last path" just a truncated version of the "path"?
