-stringsByAppendingPaths: returns an NSArray*. That is not an
NSMutableArray*. (NSMutableArray is-a NSArray, though, of course.)
By assigning to m_sources, you're "threatening" to invoke mutation
methods on the object. This would be a violation of the type
system, and so the compiler warns you about it.
