bpiwowar/papercite — Issue #21: PDF linking to external URL

I have a bib file with PDFs stored elsewhere on the web and referenced by URL. It seems that either papercite doesn't like my bib file, or doesn't currently allow linking to external PDFs. It renders correctly, it just doesn't show the PDF links.

bib file URL: http://brown-robotics.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/brown_robotics.bib
Rendered: http://brown-robotics.org/wp/?page_id=20

Am I doing something wrong? Directly uploading PDFs to the plugin directory on the site isn't ideal.

An extract of the bib file with example URLs is as follows:
