I will look to see what fileURLWithPath returns tho, b/c the string is the same as it was the last time I ran this, but last time it worked ( the code
has not changed, so I am mystified )

It may have worked, but it is not a generally correct thing to do. A file path may contain characters that a URL may not, like a space. So, taking a file path and prepending file:// does not necessarily make it a valid URL string.

It may be that an update to the system frameworks tightened up the validation of URL strings passed to -[NSURL initWithString:], causing something which used to work to now fail. Such validation tightening is typical of security updates.
