I wrote a script which give the path of the file pointed by the alias given as an argument. It works without problem on local disks. It doesn't work on mounted network shares (AFP). The exception "File wasn't found" (-43) is thrown.

Is that the expected behaviour ? Is there a way to resolve an alias on a network volume ?

What happens if you select that file in the Finder, and then from the Finder's menu bar menu choose "Show Original"?
