All,
Seems like "Finder" doesn't play fair.
If, for instance, the Users folder is marked, in the Get Info, as shared then all of it's enclosed folders will bare the label, on their window as Shared. BUT their Get Info window will show them as not Shared.
Bottom line If I want to detect if the Label is "Shared" I'll have to know, and check, the status of every parent folder in the hierarchy.
Sounds impossible.
