If you NSLog(@"class = %@", [attrs class]) you'll see what the problem
is! The NSFileManager function doesn't return an NSDictionary... just
something that behaves like one. My feeling is that a lot of those
attributes are filled in on demand. Maybe a whole set of them come
from stat(), some from the Carbon FileManager, etc.

Your problem is that since NSFileExtendedAttributes isn't in the
approved API, requesting it doesn't cause NSFileAttributes to fetch it
(since Apple never anticipated people asking for it). It just gets
filled in as a side effect of fetching some other attribute.
