As hinted by zaxxon , the "find" syntax depends on the Operating System.
Display the inode number of the file with "ls".
Inode numbers are only unique within mountpoints.
Then use the "find" command to search the mountpoint containing the file by inode number (-inum number) and use the "find" switch to keep the search within the mountpoint (-xdev in some versions, -mount in some other versions).

hfs.util
HFS.UTIL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual HFS.UTIL(8)NAME
hfs.util -- HFS/HFS+ file system utility
SYNOPSIS
hfs.util -m device mountpoint [mountflag1] [mountflag2] [mountflag3] [mountflag4]
hfs.util -p device [mountflag1] [mountflag2] [mountflag3] [mountflag4]
hfs.util -J [size] mountpoint
hfs.util -U mountpoint
hfs.util -N device
hfs.util -I mountpoint
hfs.util [-aksu] device
DESCRIPTION
The hfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of HFS file systems.
Options:
-a Adopt permissions for the HFS file system at device
-I Print out status information about the journal on the HFS file system at mountpoint
-J [size] Enable journaling on the HFS file system mounted on mountpoint. An optional size may be specified (e.g. 32M for a 32
megabyte journal).
-k Get the UUID key for the HFS file system at device.
-m Mount the HFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
-M Force mount the HFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3
mountflag4. This is a deprecated option.
-N Disable journaling on a HFS+ file system located at device
-p Probe the device for an HFS file system using the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
-s Set the UUID key (generates a new UUID value) for the HFS file system at device
-u Unmount the HFS file system located at device
-U Disable journaling on the HFS+ file system mounted on mountpoint
The mountflags referenced above are either:
o removable or fixed
o readonly or writeable
o suid or nosuid
o dev or nodev
Note that for the device references above, you must only supply the last component of the path to the device in question, such as disk0s2
rather than /dev/disk0s2.
