Have you considered using the Carbon approach:
FSRef userFolder;
OSErr err = FSFindFolder( kUserDomain, kCurrentUserFolderType,
kDontCreateFolder, &userFolder );
if ( err == noErr )
{
FSRef lib;
UniChar name[] = { 'l', 'i', 'b' };
err = FSMakeFSRefUnicode( &inParentFSRef, 3, name,
kTextEncodingDefaultFormat, &lib );
// Delete lib.
}
