Devin, Sarah -
Thanks for clearing that up for me! You are both right - that was
the problem. Now I know what is causing it and what to expect I can
work around it easily (with help from Klaus too)
Thanks again,
Chris

In my experience this is normal OS X/Unix behavior. The "root"
level of the system is defined as the "top" level of the boot
volume, so in a terminal if you do 'cd /' you are taken to the top
level of the boot drive. If my boot volume is 'Macintosh HD' that
information is not included in the path name. However, if I want to
access a file or folder on another volume I must preface the cd
command with /Volumes/DriveName.
The behavior is Rev is consistent with the unix file system model
and is completely expected.

If I do: "get the filename of this stack" on my G5(Tiger) it
returns "/Volumes/Starfish Internal 250/Scripter/filename test/
filename test.app/Contents/MacOS/filename test" i.e. the full path.
If I run it on G3 laptop(Panther) it returns "/filename test.app/
Contents/MacOS/filename test"
(whereas to be consistent, it should have returned /Volumes/
Powerbook HD/filename test.app/Contents/MacOS/filename test")
This is a big problem for me as I need to pass the path
information to a text file to be read by another (SC) application.
I would guess that on your laptop, you are using the boot drive,
but on your G5, you are used another drive, not the boot drive. Rev
always adds the "/Volumes/DriveName" prefix to anything other than
the boot drive.
Cheers,
Sarah
