I am trying to create/open a file with the origine in posix example "~/Library/Preferences/temp.tiff"

I have made a function to convert based on some example I have found...

It works most of the time but seems to failed with the TILDE(~) current user...

The RetStatus is -43 rectory not found...

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
OSStatus FSPathMakeFSSpec (CFilePath & FilePath, FSSpec * OutFSSpec, Boolean * OutIsDirectory )
{
OSStatus RetStatus;
Str255 PascalPathname;

FSRef           FileRef;
FSCatalogInfo   ThisInfo;
char            PathName [256];
char            FileName [256];

    ExtractPath    (PathName, FilePath.m_Filename, 256);
    ExtractFileName(FileName, FilePath.m_Filename, 256);

    if((PathName[0]        == 0)
    && (FilePath.m_VRefNum == 0)
    && (FilePath.m_parID   == 0)
    ){
       ConvertStringToPascalStr (OutFSSpec->name, FileName, 63);
       RetStatus = GetDefaultTempDir(OutFSSpec);
       return RetStatus;
    } else if(PathName[0] == 0){
       OutFSSpec->vRefNum   = FilePath.m_VRefNum;
       OutFSSpec->parID     = FilePath.m_parID;
       ConvertStringToPascalStr (OutFSSpec->name, FileName, 63);
       return NO_ERROR;
    }
// *************************************************************************************************

// POINT OF FAILLURE!???

RetStatus = FSPathMakeRef((const UInt8 *)PathName, &FileRef, OutIsDirectory);
require_noerr(RetStatus, ExitFSPathMakeFSSpec);

// *************************************************************************************************

RetStatus = FSGetCatalogInfo(&FileRef, kFSCatInfoVolume | kFSCatInfoNodeID, &ThisInfo, NULL, NULL, NULL);
require_noerr(RetStatus, ExitFSPathMakeFSSpec);

OutFSSpec->vRefNum = ThisInfo.volume;
OutFSSpec->parID = ThisInfo.nodeID;

ConvertStringToPascalStr (OutFSSpec->name, FileName, 63);
ConvertStringToPascalStr (PascalPathname, PathName, 63);

ExitFSPathMakeFSSpec:
return( RetStatus );
}
