HFS error or Applescript error?

Entity Emmanuel spoke thus:

> POSIX file (do shell script "ls " & posixQuotedPath)
I like that solution, Thanks.

But there's a serious limitation in Applescript, It doesn't distinguish
between identically mounted disks. I'm writing this expecting some
confirmation from the resident Applescript Engineer that it will be fixed in
10.4.

I have a userfolder named "Rachel" on both Macs. If the disk is mounted I
can say in shell:

'/Volumes/Rachel/Music/iTunes/iTunes 4 Music Library'
'/Volumes/Rachel-1/Music/iTunes/iTunes 4 Music Library'

This gimmick allows me to do anything in the shell to the local or mounted
disk but alas, I can't do Applescript on the mounted disk since it always
operates on the local disk.

Comments?
