The Mac implementation of nsLocalFile::Create does not work if all ancestors of the file being created don't exist. I'll fix this one.

ResolvePathAndSpec() was resetting the dest spec if directories in the path did not exist. This was wrong in the case of a spec with a relative path. This made the relative path relative to nothing.

Would opening a local file on the Mac be a test case for this?
no. calling create() would be.
The test case is this: Given an nsILocalFile directory which does exist and was initially specified with an FSSpec, call AppendRelativePath more than once. These child directories do not exist. When Create is called in this case, it will fail.
conrad, please mark verified is all is well.
