Invisible folder "Volumes"

Hi

does anyone know, why the folder "Volumes" of startup disk behaves otherwise than the other invisible folders on top level.
My test script looks as follows:
===========
tell application "Finder"
	activate
	set FW1 to Finder window 1
	set TG to target of Finder window 1

	set TheList to {}
	set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
	repeat with i from 1 to (number of text items) of (TG as text)
		set TheList to TheList & text item i of (TG as text)
	end repeat
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
end tell

return TheList
===========
If any of the folders "usr", "bin", "sbin",  "cores", "private", ".vol" is frontmost, the script correctly returns {"Startdisk_name", "the_foldername", ""}. If "Volumes" is frontmost, the script returns {"", ""}

How comes?
Rudolf
