The problem I am seeing is that in some cases, the volume "RemoteUser" appears to be mounted as a phantom volume, so the path obtained is:


/Volumes/RemoteUser-1/Path/File.txt

I am pretty convinced that the explanations you got so far will help you.

Though, let me mention that there are instances where you will get such a path with "-1" while nothing bad has happened - only two disks with the same name were mounted.

If you mount a volume "RemoteUser", then another one, they will have different posix paths as you report:
/Volumes/RemoteUser
and
/Volumes/RemoteUser1


The problem comes when you try to convert such paths into HFS ("Macintosh") paths, and in fact still more when you try to display such HFS paths - since you get twice "alias "RemoteUser"".

The route to a solution is to stick as long as possible to the posix paths, and use HFS only when absolutely required.
