As usual, you are correct.

So, I just upgraded TeXLive-2011 (with "tlmgr update --all") and now  
the console for Sharpe's

	% !TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk
	\documentclass[11pt]{book}
		\usepackage[abspath]{currfile}		
	\begin{document}
		some text
		\typeout{^^J^^JFILEPATH: \currfileabspath^^J^^J} % or \currfileabsdir
	\end{document}

shows FILEPATH but still not currfileabspath

I will try it on my wife's Intel iMac which she just upgraded to 10.6
