pathnames in Tiger not showing volume name



Hi there, I've run into a problem with pathnames that have been
dragged-and-dropped on a window. They are exactly like the paths which
you'd expect from -fileSystemRepresentation. In Leopard, the pathnames
from an SMB mount I will get from the Finder are like:

/Volumes/SMB_Mount/Files/AnnualReport_Cover.pdf

but in Tiger I would get something like:

/Volumes/SMB_Server/Files/AnnualReport_Cover.pdf

where I'll get the server name and not the volume name.

I've been hacking these paths to create a UNC path, but on Tiger this
is impossible because I can't get the Volume name.

Perhaps there's a better, more general way to create paths in
Carbon(for instance)? I've tried creating an FSRef, but being very
Carbon ignorant have just been stabbing in the dark with it. For
instance, I tried to make an NSURL from CFURLCreateFromFSRef hoping
that would give me something more general, but that didn't change
anything.
