What is an HFS alias? I mean, CFURLGetFSRef() followed by FSNewAlias() is
the usual way to convert a POSIX file path into an alias.

What exactly doesn't work, is it CFURLCopyFileSystemPath(), or something
else?

CFURLCreateWithString(), then CFURLGetFSRef(). Or FSPathMakeRef() if
that's raw bytes, not a CFString.

Also, you can drag the file into a Terminal window to see what the system
thinks about its path.
