I'm working on an app to open user selected keynote presentations from a network location and manipulate them.

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
