Max 8.2 / Rosetta2 /absolutepath not working.

Mac OS. M1 Mini. Max opened using Rosetta.
Opened an existing project.

The Project Search Path has the project default path set, and an additional searchpath to a folder containing folders of settings and so forth.
If I click on List Paths, I can see that all of the paths are shown.
I unlock the main patch and add a message box -> absolutepath -> set message box chain.
I send [media] (in the Project folder) to absolutepath and get the path to a folder inside the Max app. [data] gets me the path to a folder in Max 8/Library.
Sending the name of any of the subfolders of the additionals folder to absolutepath returns [notfound].
I think it may be broken!
