Yes, I have been wondering about this too. It seems to me that you're not
going to be able to use that API - that you're going to have to do the
whole thing in Carbon.

In the whole area of file handling, Cocoa throws away much of the brilliant
technology developed over the years at Apple. Here we have a very clear and
powerful way to distinguish volumes with the same name (the vRefNum), and
Cocoa ignores this in favor of pathnames. There's a reason why Apple
abandoned pathnames years ago, and this is part of that reason.
