Adam;
I'm an ObjC guy -- I generally avoid the C stuff if possible - 'cause
I have to support my own code.
But your method seems like it will work not only as a replacement but
actually a doorway to the full gamut of common metadata attributes -
very nice!!
I know I should lose the resistance but there are only so many
mountains one guy can climb...
Thanks for the very helpful note!

It sounds like you've solved your problem, but I'd just note that if
you're only getting Finder comments, MDItem is faster and simpler:
- (NSString *)commentForURL:(NSURL *)fileURL;
{
NSParameterAssert([fileURL isFileURL]);
MDItemRef mdItem = NULL;
CFStringRef path = (CFStringRef)[fileURL path];
NSString *theComment = nil;
if (path && (mdItem = MDItemCreate(CFGetAllocator(path), path))) {
theComment = (NSString *)MDItemCopyAttribute(mdItem,
kMDItemFinderComment);
CFRelease(mdItem);
[theComment autorelease];
}
return theComment;
}
