But, you forgot to escape \.
So, the correct code is:
$url = bb_get_option('uri').trim(str_replace(array(trim(BBPATH,"/\"),"\"),array("","/"),dirname(__FILE__)),' /\').'/';

Most users also don't know they aren't supposed to use bb-plugins and make my-plugins because the powers that be refuse to ship bbpress with a pre-made my-plugins directory.

After much trial and error and problems reported by windows users, I figured this out:

$url=bb_get_option('uri').trim(str_replace(array(trim(BBPATH,"/\"),"\"),array("","/"),dirname(__FILE__)),' /\').'/'; 

$path=rtrim(dirname(__FILE__),' /\').'/';

Where $url is the full uri to the local plugin's directory (ie. if you have an image in there, that's the url to it)

The $path is the local storage path that will work in both windows and linux.

It may look like these functions can be simplified but if you do that, I guarantee you'll break it under one environment or another.

Is there a constant variable like WP_PLUGIN_URL?
I'm looking for this too! I'm porting a WP plugin over.

[EDIT]
Found it! It's in bb-settings.php

The variable is BB_PLUGIN_URL.
Simple as that! :)

http://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests

Once they're approved, you'll get a bbPress URL for your plugin. :-)
