getxattr(2) will directly access the current on-disk attribute value. Whynot just use it as Alastair suggested?
Can you point to any official documentation for the Finder comment xattr name? The storage for it has changed before, so looking in the xattrs appears to be an implementation detail.

Mostly the synchronization between Finder Comments and spotlight seems instantaneous, but then on this occasionthey seemed to refuse to sync. ________________________________ On Apr 21, 2009, at 8:04 AM, Chris Idou wrote:kMDItemFinderComment, and I was playing around testing it, by changingI've got a program which uses MDItemCopyAttribute to get thethe value in the Finder and seeing if the value changed in my program,and they ended up out of synch. It ends up that mdls returns a differentvalue than xattr -l,and MDItemCopyAttribute doesn't return the up to date value. Now that itsout of synch, updating the value in Finder doesn't get it back in synch.Is this expected behavior? Should I be using something other thanMDItemCopyAttribute to get the most up to date value? You should be sending an Apple event to the Finder: <http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2009/3/23/232927> --MichaelEnjoy a better web experience.
