  This doesn't have anything to do with Xcode, does it? Perhaps, this
discussion should be moved to Carbon-dev mailing list.

  Sounds strange: FSOpenFork takes an FSRef, not a path. Do you use CFURL
for this conversion? How do you use it? A code snippet would help a lot.

  I've seen similar issues with CFURL and HFS paths, but more information is
certainly needed to address this one. What is the OS version? What is the
volume name (if it has any non-ASCII characters)? Finally, how do you mount
the dmg?
