I apologize, please pardon me.
set actualfolder to posix path of (f as alias) -- may be /Volumes/
Library-1/etc
this is wrong it's really: posix path of (posix file f as alias)
To get your pardon, here is an unvaluable contribution, our
"dereferencepath" handler.
on dereferencepath(f)
try
return POSIX path of (POSIX file f as alias)
end try
set {x, y} to find text "^(.*/)([^/]+/?)$" in f using {"\\1", "\\2"}
with regexp and string result
return dereferencepath(x) & y
end dereferencepath

I'm having a problem with (f as alias) where f is clearly a posix
path.
(Emmanuel, did you get any error with (f as alias)?)
I have never had any trouble converting an alias to a posix path for
use in a 'do shell script ...'.
This afternoon, I have been trying to convert a valid posix path to
an alias.
This seems to be impossible.
