If you think about restarting your efforts, you should create a 
VFSFileManager, very similar to NSFileManager. Helge did this in OGo 
for several protocols (with various extensions to NSFileManager - 
locking, versioning etc.).

I don't know the infrastructure of GWorkspace, but any app using 
NSFileManager for browsing a file system could very easily switch to 
VFSFileManager - with all benefits automatically kicking in. Also all 
<foo>WithContentsOfURL: methods could be implemented utilizing this 
VFSFileManager.

Cheers,
