10.6 has a new pasteboard API based around NSPasteboardItem and
protocols like NSPasteboardReading that natively understands multiple
objects and URLs. You might have better luck using that API.
Specifically, the Pasteboard Programming Guide has a section on using
the new API with file URLs:

They do in the Pasteboard Programming Guide, but it looks like some of
the API reference hasn't been updated to point at the new API. The old
API apparently hasn't been officially deprecated yet. *sigh* Also, see
the pasteboard video from WWDC09. It's also got an awesome song at the
end. :)
In the meantime, file bugs on the documentation for methods like
-propertyListForType:; maybe they'll be willing to put a note in there
about the new API.
