4) I verified that the file I am trying to open using LSOpenApplication exists at the path the URL points to when it gets converted to an FSRef.

So why isn't it working? Why does LSOpenApplication give me an error?

What is the path/URL/FSRef pointing to? What is the nature of the file-system object at that location?

LSOpenApplication is expecting it to be an application bundle, generally. (There are some corner cases that are extremely rare in practice.)

Have you considered using one of the other Launch Services functions, like LSOpenCFURLRef?
