First, make sure you don't have a non-working url in your playlist, as that will cause this error (I was having the same issue just the other day and that's what it was for me).

I see there is a "uri" for each track reference, which points to the library location. It has two added backslashes in front of the path, like

uri=file:///mnt/vboxfiles/music/steven_wilson/the_future_bites/04_-_steven_wilson_-_12_things_i_forgot.mp3

Is that the cause? If the location path is wrong, why does the track still play?

Ok, GOT IT! ;)
Yes, that is correct for file uris (file:///) - file:// indicates a file path (vs http://, etc.) follows, and the absolute path begins with a "/", hence the 3 slashes. My question remains are all these file paths correct (exist and have readable permissions and no bad characters? However, this error only comes from the neon transport plugin, which only processes web urls, so if they're all local files, I'm not sure how you would get this specific message. Also, the "6" indicates a time out in attempting to read, so my guess is that one of your playlist entries refers to a web-based url. Beyond that, I don't know, so hopefully someone else can shed some light.

Oh, and you might post your playlist file and try audacious -V (displays a bunch of diagnostic msgs).

Regards,
Jim
