Oddly enough, I'm Cocoa ignorant but a bit more Carbon savvy :-)
Actually I've got a Foundation tool that accepts files dragged onto
the application icon. My handler for this accepts an NSURL. All I do
is call the NSURL's "path" method and the path I get is something like
/Volumes/DEV/somefile.txt.
I admit that may be different than your situation but it does seem to
be possible to get the path you are looking for...
