The Death of typeFSSpec: moving along to typeFileURL
The FSSpec data type is not suitable for encoding information about
files in Mac OS X. Most importantly, FSSpecs cannot encode long or
Unicode file names such as those used in the Mac OS X file system. In
addition, Directory ID numbers and volume reference numbers are
application specific in Mac OS X. This means that a directory ID number
or volume reference number used in one application will not have any
meaning for another applications.
I assume this is a symptom.

did, even though they're actually set up differently "under the hood"
in OS
10.1.x?
