I'm working on an app to open user selected keynote presentations from

It works okay in debug, but when I build it for release Keynote can't
open the file path that gets passed.
Here's the snip that works in debug (though I freely admit it seems a
bit nonsensical to me):
tell application "Keynote"
set filenamePosix to POSIX path of (characters 2 thru
(length of fileName) of fileName as string)
set filenamePosix to (characters 2 thru (length of
filenamePosix) of filenamePosix as string) as string
open filenamePosix
end tell
fileName comes into this code as a Posix path (slash delimited)
starting "\Volumes\XYZ\blah\test.key"
My code (such as it is) ! converts it to a Mac type path (colon
delimited), stripping the leading colon so that it's like
"Volumes:XYZ:blah:test.key".
In debug, as I say, this works.
When I build and run the release version I get an error to the effect
that
Keynote cannot read the file.
You do not have permission to read "olumes:XYZ:blah:test.key"
Is that correct - "olumes:XYZ:blah:test.key"?
If so, you're stripping too much off the string
