/Volumes/David/Documents/Devonthink Dbase/David's DEVONthink
Database.dtBase


If I remember well the pathname starts with /Volumes/ when the file is NOT stored on the boot volume.

If David is the name of an "auxiliary" volume.
posix file of "/Volumes/David/Documents/Devonthink Dbase/David's DEVONthink Database.dtBase"


will return "David:Documents:Devonthink Dbase:David's DEVONthink Database.dtBase"

but, if David is the name of the user's account, it will return:

"Macintosh HD:Volumes:David:Documents:Devonthink Dbase:David's DEVONthink Database.dtBase"
because the given path is wrongly formed, it would be "/David/ Documents/Devonthink Dbase/David's DEVONthink Database.dtBase"
