So it appears I have to strip respectively:

mitchX - one of my disk names

and

mitchX/Users/johnmitchell - my user address

POSIX paths do not start with disk names. The POSIX path to your home directory is just /Users/johnmitchell, no "mitchX". If mitchX were not your startup volume/root filesystem, then the path would be something like /Volumes/mitchX/Users/johnmitchell.

Absolute POSIX paths always start with a /. Without the leading /, the path is interpreted relative to whatever your current working directory is - which you can find out via the "pwd" command.
