like this: "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:My Folder:My File".

There is no folder called "Desktop Folder" on the root disk under OS X. Are you sure your path is correct?

Actually there is such a folder, hidden tho' it be.
Do a Get Info on your "Desktop (Mac OS 9)" folder alias to see.

there's neither a "Desktop Folder" nor a "Desktop (Mac OS 9)" on my boot volume

$ ls -apd1 /Desktop*
/Desktop DB
/Desktop DF

(this volume has never had Mac OS 9 installed on it)

however, all my non-boot volumes have "Desktop Folder", but none has "Desktop (Mac OS 9)"

$ ls -apd1 /Volumes/*/Desktop* | grep \/$
/Volumes/barley/Desktop Folder/
/Volumes/durga/Desktop Folder/
/Volumes/ganesh/Desktop Folder/
/Volumes/garlic/Desktop Folder/
/Volumes/iDisk/Desktop Folder/
/Volumes/rye/Desktop Folder/

(i only boot Classic from a disk image and never direct Classic to save things to Desktop)
