The behaviour described is consistent with the load thread exiting due to an uncaught FileNotFoundException, before having add anything to the pane shown.

I can strongly recommend printing out file.getAbsolutePath() when you encounter FileNotFoundExceptions as that information is not present in the exception message. This will help you find out why the file name was broken.
