is it possible that NSFileManager does'nt know anything about alias files?
Of course it is. Whole Cocoa, being unix-born and not MacOS-born, uses the
*standard* API, whilst aliases are very proprietary stuff of HFS+. Use
symbolic links instead (they work much more reasonably anyway).
Since Apple (triple alas!) pushes aliases to be used instead of symlinks,
it is extremely probable that all Cocoa classes will be made alias-aware
sooner or later. It will take some time though.
