iOS and the defaultfolder

Well, well, well. When one set the default folder to any place in the "the
documents folder" a "/Private" get prepended to the front of "the default
folder"(but not on the simulator). Although "the defaultfolder <> to the
documents folder" the "defaultfolder" is where you want to be to see your
apps documents.

Strange but true


This works in the simulator but not on the device......
-------
Set the defaultfolder to the documents folder
-------
There is nothing in the result but==>the defaultfolder <> to the documents
folder

This does work
-------
Set the defaultfolder to the engine folder
-------

I can also read/write/delete files in the documents folder. I just can't set
the defaultfolder there.
Is this an iOS security restriction or a bug?

Thanks!
