In order to avoid that error message, you have to find the proper rm-file within the smil-file. I had a similar problem. I used three different types of cracked streambox vcr, but in vain. I just couldn't get the proper rm-file. Now here is how I finally managed to do it.
In my case the smil file was ".../stream_kap3.2.smil".
I clicked the link and RealPlayer opened. While it was playing the stream, I went to File - clip properties - clip source and there it was "stream_kap3.2_gr.rm".
Here is a copy of the pertinent parts of the smil-file:
<smil>
<head>
...
...
</head>
<body>
<switch id="id">
<video src="/.../stream_kap3.2_gr.rm" system-bitrate="200000" region="switch" />
<video src="/.../stream_kap3.2_kl.rm" system-bitrate="30000" region="switch2" />
</switch>
</body>
</smil>
The rest was easy!
I use RealOne PLayer Version 2 Helix Powered, Build 6.0.11.811.

Happy streaming to all of you!

but what should i do if realplayer tells me, that i can't view the clip source, because the clip creator doesn't want me to view it?
