Detecting a remote volume

Dear List, my app should copy a few files to a remote (afp://) volume, hence it notifies the user if there is no connection, using NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath: method. However, if the user connects to the Server using Finder's "Connect As...", NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath: @"/Volumes
