"Choose folder" not working for NT server

I'm processing a folder of images, so I use the standard 'choose folder'
command to identify which folder the user wants to start with. If I choose
a folder in the open dialog box by clicking on the 'Network' icon on the
left and find my folder, which resides on an NT box (that's NOT running the
Appleshare service, so I guess it's SMB), it doesn't return an appropriate
path. Where it should be:
"Network:myServer:Matt:anyFolder:myImages:"
I instead get (in the return text)
"Joe:anyFolder:myImages:"
It loses the first two elements of the path (and the script fails when
trying to run). If I open this folder in the Finder, I get a whole
different path:
"myMac:myMac:private:var:automount:Network:myServer:Matt:myImages:
I realize there's some different networking protocols going on here, but I'm
a bit surprised the "choose" function doesn't work this out. I'm about to
test hard-coding this path to see if it works - something I don't want to do
since I still need to be able to 'choose' a folder on a traditionally
mounted server. Are there any good work-arounds for this or is it some sort
of bug in the 'choose' command?
Matt
