It seems that 'argv' is a list whose 1st item is a folder path and whose remaining items are the names of files it contains. Is the 1st item a posix path or a colon delimited path or an alias? I will presume that it's an alias.
You presume incorrectly. Strictly speaking, items of argv aren't even POSIX paths, they're just text. (Which might happen to be valid POSIX paths, but they might not, which is why it doesn't try to automatically turn them into alias objects.)
