The 1:24 means means that the parser discovered an error at
line 1 column 24 - i.e. the argument to document.

The argument to document is an expression that *evaluates*
to a URL.  A unquoted URL is not an expression.  You need
to quote it:

for $x in document("F:\...") where .... return ...

Technically "F:\test\DataSources\XML\dblp1.xml" isn't a
valid URL either, but Kawa should handle it OK (though
I haven't tested that with Windows drive letters).
