How have you determined that it's returning an NSPathStore2 object? What
were the symptoms of the problems you're having, and what led you to believe
that the NSPathStore2 object is causing them?
The reason I'm asking this is, NSString is a class cluster. If you're more
familiar with Java or C++, you can think of it as a pure virtual class for
the purposes of this discussion, in that you're never going to see an actual
instance of NSString. Every method that's declared as returning an NSString*
actually returns an instance of a subclass of NSString, and this is both
normal and expected.
So, the fact that you're getting an instance NSPathStore2 instead of
NSString *could* be a symptom of a problem, but it's at least equally likely
that it isn't - hence the need for clarification.
