  | pool ipf/tree (name "robots";)
  | 	{ file:///etc/ipf/ssh_robot_blacklist; };

  | ... Is the "file" option not supported?

I have never used any of that, but from a quick glance through
the sources, it looks as if the string might need to be quoted,
perhaps something like

pool ipf/tree (name "robots";)
	{ "file:///etc/ipf/ssh_robot_blacklist"; };

(assuming the the rest of your syntax is correct, I did not check that).

Yes, I do see that the man page documents this without quotes.
but I cannot see how the source could possibly implement that.
With quotes (either "" or '' it appears) a file:// string looks like it
is intended to work.   No idea whether it does or not.

Let us know if it helps, maybe the documentation can be corrected.

ps: ipf and all that relates to it is not really being supported into the
future.
