While working on a little utility, I wanted to include the volume name.  So...
I looked through the structures, and found what I __THOUGHT__ I was looking
for.  I call Info(), fill the InfoData structure.  Get the other information I
need from it, but when I try to get the volume name from id_VolumeNode (yes, I
converted it from a BPTR) it either returns a NULL BSTR or compleat garbage. 
I manage to get it out of the DeviceList structure (from the lock) without
much trouble, although it requires a Forbid/Permit which I'd really like to
avoid.  There _SHOULD_ be an easier way than this, or am I missing something
really obvious here?
