.. yes, this is funny. There is a kMDItemPath attribute in the NSMetadataItem array, but calling [item attributes] won't show it. See https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Carbon/Reference/MetadataAttributesRef/Reference/CommonAttrs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001694-SW1 for a complete list of attributes present.
You can retrieve the path by either calling [metadataItem valueForAttribute:@"kMDItemPath"], or, introduced in OS X 10.7, [metadataItem valueForAttribute:NSMetadataItemPathKey].
