Er... can we stop here and explore why you're going to such great 
lengths?  What does lstat or stat do for you that, say, .Exists does not?

Yikes.  If you do invoke a Unix routine, I would expect it to want a 
ShellPath, not an AbsolutePath.
And I have no idea what encoding it would want... probably whatever's 
stored on the operating system, but that could be almost anything.
