open() error ---- what am I missing?

[Eric Torstenson]

OK I figured it out. It was a misleading error message.  For those with
similar troubles I have listed an explanation (and I was being stupid...I
sort of figured as much)

It was a bad path name after all. It is a nested structure, where at one
point I left off one extra "\" (I'm using windows). I had looked at that
path a dozen times, somehow missing that single "\" down toward the
middle....
