Posting it as a bug to the mailing list would be good...that kind of 
thing should work the same across all platforms (either way doesn't 
matter to me).  Also, it would be good to provide an updated version of 
FileDirectoryTests>>testExists that tests this scenario.

In the meantime, you could correct the issue by using the following test:

    ((dir := FileDirectory on: filePath) exists not or:
        [FileStream isAFileNamed: filePath]) ifTrue: [^false].

...of course, this assumes that, on the Mac, #isAFileNamed: will return 
false even if the directory exists.

Let me know if this works and I'll update Comanche with a test similar 
to it and also add a Comanche SUnit test (because no doubt, someone is 
going to change how it works in the future).
