Indeed. In the old filesystem lib, I had to globally turn off path 
checking to get anything accomplished with path objects. Now, it looks 
like path checking is separate from the path object (and there was much 
rejoicing).

I've removed the (now superflous) offending code, and things seem to be 
working again.

Thanks for the report.
