That is exactly how all of this started.  I did remove all the windows
references and used the HFS path instead.  However, there was an issue
with ExternalDataFileEx vs ExternalDataFile.  I was getting errors about
sf.records not having any properties around line 45.

 for (i=0;i<sf.records[0].length;i++)

I'm all in favor of a more ellegant solution.  But production is looking
for a solution that works.  And as far as anyone can tell, this is the
current preferred solution.  Once this is depracated I'll be happy to
modify things on our end.

I will start fresh and make only the changes you suggest below as well
as reading what mozilla has to offer about the File funtion.  I'll
report back tomorrow with what I have found.
