I downloade it.
I'm running 10.4.11
If the media is missing, I get an error exactly as I get one with a

I see. It's not a problem on my setups when the alias was created on
either 10.4 or 10.5. In the process of checking out your report, I
think I found a solution -- well at least proof of concept.
I believe the problem is multifold because there are two forms of
storage for aliases and two sets of APIs for dealing with them. So if
you created those aliases long ago, they will be stored in the old
style and the old style functions to get the path are needed to
retrieve them. Furthermore there is a consideration between PPC and
Intel for resource fork byte ordering.
So I created version 1.0.1 of GetAliasTarget which uses those old
style functions. So if you can verify that you get the HFS path using
version 1.0.1, I think everyone should file a bug because then there's
some proof that it can be done.
