It seems that many people are interested in how to do this.  I have posted
some tested code (in pascal) to comp.sources.mac.  It includes a function which
takes a volume reference number, a file name and a directory ID and returns the
full path.  It checks for HFS vs. MFS and does the right thing in either case.
It even attempts to salvage things if the file turns out to be too deeply nested
for the full path to fit in a pascal string. Use and enjoy.
	Yours.
