Am I missing a method specifically intended for path comparison?


Not that I know of.  But you are missing the method for
preprocessing them before comparison.  Look at:

  -[NSString stringByStandardizingPath]


An other way may be to convert them into FSRef (using FSPathMakeRef())
and then compare them using FSCompareFSRefs()

There's a risk to that solution, though. A longstanding bug (2489632) in FSPathMakeRef (and thus with a few other routines that apparently use it) whereby symlinks are silently resolved. Depending on your needs, that may be a show-stopper.
