Apple/Mac Appending to File path?

Question

I have the following javascript script runnning in InDesign:
if (File.fs == "Windows") {
var defaultPath = new File('\\\\server\\path\\to\\file');
} else {
var defaultPath = new File('smb://server/path/to/file');
The code works fine in Windows (the file is on a Windows shared directory), but on a Mac I get a "cannot find folder" error and claims the defaultPath variable is:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/scripts/XHTML For Digital Editions/smb:/server/path/to/file
I am confused about 2 things:
Why is it appending "/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/scripts/XHTML For Digital Editions/" to the path?
Why is it changing smb:// to smb:/ (one forward-slash) ?
Am I using the wrong path for Mac? Is there supposed to be something else before smb:// to identify that it is not a local path?

John,
As I stated in my first reply, using /Volumes/ did not work
I am not sure the path specified is mounted on the system. Is that required and how do you get the mount name? Is it possible to access the path without it being mounted?
I was also looking here:

Will /Network/Servers etc work?
I am not a Mac user so I don't know much about Mac's filesystem or the file paths used. On the test machine I have used just typing in smb://server/path/to/file works in the Finder (Windows Explorer equivalent) but does not work in the code.
