How about if you copy [[pathurlArray objectAtIndex:0] stringValue] into a NSString, retain it and create a NSURL instead of creating from pathurlArray directly...??

What would be the value in [[pathurlArray objectAtIndex:0] stringValue] at this point...?? May be the pathurlArray is Auto released before you create the NSURL...?? Just a guess....
