Joel, have you considered converting to a ":"-delimited path for use with
AppleScript?  For example, your path above, if it was on a hard drive called
"Main HD" would be:

  file "Main HD:Users:toto:Desktop:Image 6.png"

and AppleScript can use that just as easily. If colon-delimited will work
for you, let me know and I'll post my conversion routine.
