I was creating a relative file path based on the file path of the main 
stack. In Parallels the shared "drive" is mapped to "Z" but the filename 
of the stack comes in as "pfd://home/yadda/yadda". (I think it's "pfd", 
I've shut down Parallels now, but it was something odd like that.)

The script checks for the existence of the audio file and if it's there, 
it loads a player. "There is a file 'pfd://home/yadda'" returns true. 
When it gets passed off to QT it fails.

The exact same script and filepath works in the IDE though. Maybe the 
IDE is passing the mapped letter to QT for us.
