Problem with alias ending in forward slash in finder

This is a superb tool; thank you for it. I've found one problem that may not be solvable. The wine emulator (at least in its Wineskin package) creates a folder named dosdevices which contains a set of aliases that represent Windows paths in wine. In the terminal, these aliases have names like c: and d:. In the finder, they display as c/ and d/. I can't find any way to make aliasPath output their actual paths. Am I missing something obvious, or is this syntax something that aliasPath can't handle?

When I use aliasPath with every variety of quoting or escaping that I can think of, I get error messages saying there is no such file.

I'll be grateful for any help with this.
