Sorry if I cannot answer your question, but why do you want to access
the filesystem if you have a JCR? :-)

Have you looked at the filesystem resource provider ? This provides
access to the OS filesystem through the Sling ResourceResolver. Carsten
also wrote an interesting blog about this [1]

I do not want to change all that legacy stuff to use the JCR instead of the
file system.
