When I do that, the conversion from NSString to const UInt8 * path mangles the special characters in the path.

CFURLGetFSRef is great if what you have originally is a CF/NSURL. But
if you just have an NSString, you might as well use FSPathMakeRef with
[aString fileSystemRepresentation]. No reason to create an
intermediary NSURL.
