Say I have a UNIX path to this directory: "/usr/local/bin"

How can a create an RB folderitem pointing to this directory from the
UNIX path?

I could parse the UNIX path and do .child, .child, but what root
parent do I start from?

Thx,
Peter.

  f = GetFolderItem( path, FolderItem.PathTypeShell )

This is off the top of my head but should give you the right idea.
