additional_images takes URLs, not file paths. Use URL escaping, ie, %26 for &, %20 for space, etc.

I find an easy way to get the URL is to drag the image onto my browser, then copy the location it shows.

additional_images is intended for use with CSS, not directly including them in the text. There's no way in FFF currently to differentiate between images put in the story text by the author and ones you added manually.
Plus, there's an easier way to do it:
Put the <img> tags in the chapter text with src attr pointing to the URL of the image on disk (or where ever) and then run an FFF Update Always (if there aren't new chapters) and FFF will process it as if the author had put it in.
Your custom image will be 'downloaded', mapped to an ffdl-# name and included in the epub.
