Try using a pathname that contains only Latin alphabet characters (for reference, the original chars of the volume-name are Thai: \u0e40\u0e21\u0e48\u0e19). If necessary, create and mount a disk- image in order to get only Latin chars.

I don't think it has anything to do with the characters in the filename:


   	NSLog(@"path = %@", [@"/etc" stringByStandardizingPath]);
results in
	path = /etc
when the result ought to be "/private/etc".

The same thing happens with a custom symlink I created, like "/ Code", which links to "/Volumes/snoog/Code":

	NSLog(@"path = %@", [@"/Code/Murky" stringByStandardizingPath]);
results in
	path = /Code/Murky

Not sure about the second example, but the first example has been a problem for a long time:


rdar://problem/6121719 -[NSString stringByResolvingSymlinksInPath] is contradictory and untrustworthy

(Note that stringByStandardizingPath is documented as calling stringByResolvingSymlinksInPath.)
