Well, that's why it is failing. You're passing a random pointer to an FSRef. You want to use FSPathMakeRef instead of FSRefMakePath.

Also, use -fileSystemRepresentation instead of -UTF8String on the path. In most cases they won't differ in what they return, but there are a bout 1 or 2 in which they will. So better to use the method specifically designed for this.

Also, 256 per fetch is a bit too much. I suggest around 40 or use ((getpagesize() * 4) / sizeof(FSCatalogInfo)); to programmatically get the optimum size.

And if you pass PATH_MAX to:

UInt8 utf8Path[PATH_MAX];
						OSStatus makePathErr =
FSRefMakePath(&fetched->fFSRefs[thisIndex], utf8Path, PATH_MAX);

It *will* fail on some people's computers. Try to use something much larger (if possible). I usually use PATH_MAX*6, although that still isn't the best way to do it. You can keep calling FSRefMakePath with a larger size until it doesn't return errFSNameTooLong. But you might want to stop at some high reasonable number like PATH_MAX*100 or something so it doesn't loop forever.

And

			while (fsErr == noErr || fsErr == errFSNoMoreItems) {


Huh? It'll never evaluate the latter since you break if fsErr == errFSNoMoreItems and if it were to evaluate, well...


And you are only counting the size for the data forks in a folder, you might want to add the resource fork size in as well.

	FSRef *theFileRef;
	OSStatus makePathErr = FSRefMakePath(theFileRef, (UInt8 *)[inPath
UTF8String], [inPath length]);
