Which method are you using to enumerate the contents of the directory? If you're using URLs, are you logging/examining the URLs or are you asking the URLs for their path and logging/examining those? I haven't checked, but it's possible that the URLs are relative (with the base being the directory being enumerated) but are being converted to absolute when you ask for the path. The old path-string-based API -[NSFileManager enumeratorAtPath:] provides you with just the relative path – you have to manually combine it with the path to the directory being enumerated if you want the full path. So, you might use that since you're doing path string processing anyway.
