Posix path does not change high ascii characters (ie, i h g etc...) which

Actually, the problem is with "do shell script", not "POSIX path". It doesn't understand the proper text encoding to use with shell commands. The simplest solution is to upgrade to 10.2 Jaguar, which fixes the bug. Failing that, a technique has been described here a few times to mangle the path into UTF-8 by hand.
