So you give absolute path, but location is created for even other volume?
Am I right ?

Aha, I have to see. It consider your paths as single name of database...

Hmm, Must be debugged.

You work, with C++ SDK, built with xcode, gcc, MACHO.
So path must be POSIX. All right....

Well, as workaround for now you can try build disk location from FSSRef
Exist such factor

    CreateDiskLocation_FromFSSRef()
