oh, sorry, yes, i misunderstood your problem.

But this can also be easily worked around, looks like this is a  
"Tiger" feature
(putting "/Volumes/Bootvolume/" before everypath on the boot volume.

...
put the filename of this stack into fn
set the itemdel to "/"
if item 2 of fn <> "Volumes" then
    put "/Volumes" & line 1 of the volumes & "/" before fn
end if
...

"the volumes" returns a list of all harddisks and the fiurst line  
will contain your
"boot volume"

Hope this helps.
