> In the versions of Mac OS X that I'm looking at (Lion and Mtn Lion) the Documents folder inside the sandbox is NOT a symlink. Desktop, Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures ARE all symlinks, but not Documents, so "~/Library/Containers/com.blah.someapp/Data/Documents" is not the same as "~/Documents". Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I'm seeing.

You're correct, I missed that detail :)

NSOpenPanel/NSSavePanel both return URLs to the actual Documents folder, even if you pass ~/Library/Containers/com.blah.someapp/Data/Documents as the starting folder.
