It has something to do with the way the browser or plugin is setup.
I got the same error as Bob with FireFox on SuSE, then I looked at the
web page source, started realplayer manually, did a "open location" on
the rm URL in the web page:

rtsp://a754.v5559f.c5559.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/754/5559/v001/mpr.download.akamai.com/5559/pipedreams/2004/03/14_pipedreams.rm

And it plays fine that way, so it's not the realplayer software.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about plugins to know how to fix it.
