1. If you're running on 10.6, you should use the new pasteboard API.
NSURL conforms to NSPasteboardWriting, and all you have to do is write
your NSURL to the pasteboard using -[NSPasteboard writeObjects:]. It
will use all the correct representations.

2. You're seriously simulating keystrokes to paste things in places?
This is fraught with peril. I know a number of users who re-map Cmd-V
to "Paste and Match Style" using System Preferences.
