Same thing...it works BOTH ways...

Wrong. Correct solution is to cast the path string to POSIX file, then to Unicode text, e.g.:


    "/Users/foo/" as POSIX file as Unicode text --> "Macintosh HD:Users:foo:"

As to the OP's other problem, prolly got some debug settings turned on or something like that.
