You cannot test that as the path does not need to exist or does not even
need to be complete. Consequently it's also not possible to determine the 
filesystem and hence not possible to test on that.

Note that there is also a 4 path elements version of the call.
Seems to me you can simply repeatedly call the 2 path version from back to
front.

If I need to do more tests, let me know.
