Well, it's not "converted". In OS X, "/tmp" is a relative symbolic link.
-[NSFileManager pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath:] calls something like
readlink(2) behind the scenes. So what you get back is the content of the
link... which is a relative directory name.

You can do this:
[[path stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:[fima pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath

I think that will work.
